Title: Finally, some meat in the freezer
Post by: Ranger B on November 10, 2010, 11:05:31 pm

Hunting over a mountain laurel thicket.  Lots of deer today (14 total) and took this doe.  Had a huge 8 ptr come in after she was on the ground but he saw her dead and backed out. (http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll210/RangerB/CIMG9313.jpg)

I spined her and she went down then tried to crawl off with her front legs so I took a shot and hit her in the gut.  Not good but she did slide towards me and I put another arrow in her heart to end it.

Good job on the doe.
Tell us about the bow you are using.  Looks to be a boo backed R/D and not one of your self bows.

That is a bow Ric Anderson made for me while I was in Afghanistan.  It's osage and cocobolo.  It's a beauty and shoots like a dream.  I really wanted to kill a deer with it this season so I'm a happy camper now.  It has a groundhog, deer and about a dozen squirrels on it's belt now  :D
