Title: Black Friday deer
Post by: PeteC on November 25, 2011, 04:16:46 pm

I got my season started this morning.I had been seeing a lot of illegal deer earlier in the season,but,I had'nt seen a deer in two weeks.Then a little after 7:30 am ,5 deer worked their way toward me.(We have 4 doe days during the long thanksgiving weekend).They were snufflin' acorns,but with 10 eyes it was a chore to get into position to shoot. 2 started fighting around a little ,and the others turned to look ,so I leaned out and shot her. 16 yard ,slightly quartered away shot.Double lung hit,she went about 90-100 yards.The arrow hit the opposite shoulder,so no exit.Was'nt much blood,but enough to find her quickly. I was using a little Mockernut Hickory D-bow (for its first season to hunt),50#@26",that I built ,and posted back in Jan.'09. I hit her with a 568 gr. switchcane arrow wearing a bandsaw trade point,that I made in Sept. right before season opened.Considering we have come through the worst drought in Texas history this doe was carrying a lot of fat,so she should be excellent eating. God Bless

Nice Pete, good shooting.  Love that habitat out your way, so different than the other side of the metro.

Very cool, Pete. Doesn't look like you got the usual black friday half price deal though. You paid full price for that doe! Cool!  8)

Great job on both the deer and the equipment you used  to do it.  It does not get much better than that.
