Well the stars and planets must have all aligned I did it I got my 1st primitive kill a 4 point. I wanted to hunt in my ravine tree stand but when I got back to the end of ravine I could see deer were already out. I watched them for awhile then decided to sneak along south side of ravine cross this 25' deep almost straight up and down ravine to get to my stand. When I got there 9 does and fawns where out and I watched them slowly make their way to a little west of where I just came from. I never could get in my stand so I just stood by tree. After all those deer left I was thinking about trying to climb into my stand when a nice sized 4 point slowly walked out of the woods and headed my way I watched him look right though me he never even noticed me standing there. When he got to about 30 yards all I did was look at the spot. I watched to spot get closer and closer, it got to 10 yards and turned quartering away from me all I could see was the spot. I let my arrow fly right to the spot, and saw it sticking out the other side about 9". He ran out into the oats cover crop about 100 yards then stopped to look back. He had know idea what hit him. He walked over the hill and I didn't see him go up the next one. I knew I hit him good and there was good blood but I let him for about 2 1/2 hours. It was a short trail found him about 150 yard right on my lane never made it out of field. I know I'm supposed to post pictures but my photo bucket is not working I think I'll email some to Clint. Man he's gonna taste good just told the wife on the way out the door was almost out of jerky

Looks like a healthy body on that buck. That should be a lot of good meat.
-
There you go Killer! I knew you would get what you wanted my friend. You have worked your tail off this year preparing for this exact moment. Congratulations.
That is one big four point. His body and nose have a 2 year old look to them.

Way to get it done B.J.

Thanks guys I didn't sleep much last night. Thanks Pappy, Thanks Clint and thanks for posting the pictures I sent some better ones from a camera. I gotta get my Photobucket working again I probably got 40 pictures I'd really like to post. 2 bows and a bunch of hunting pictures. Thanks Pearl you guys are just such good teachers and a lot of inspiration. Yes Pearl and Clint I'm sure this was a 2 1/2 year old just had a small rake. Taking these out of the gene pool is my QDM if you want to call it that not that I was gonna pass any bucks walking by at 10 yard while I was standing on the ground. I was gonna just field dress him but I had so much help and before I knew it we had him skinned, quartered and in the shop fridge to age a little.

Didn't mean to push the post tab yet. He had a lot of good meat and was quite fat for a buck. I never hunted bow and usually they loss most of their fat by gun season from sparing and taking care of the does. Thank badly bent those are beaver string silencers from your "hair piece" you gave me at Marshall. They worked great he didn't have a clue what hit him. Thanks again guys for all your info and support. I'm really not a computer web type guy but I love this site and all you guys. Glad to be part of the group.

Hey hey buddy.Way to go!!!!One shot bjrogg is what I'm gonna call ya now.....lol.A very nice big bodied Minnesota buck.Love seeing that happen for ya.Really cool getting that close to these deer.Makes things exciting.Now which bow and arrow did you use now?Let's hear it.
-
Now you can go about the rest of your harvest with a big smile on your face......ha ha.

Thanks so much guys, I used my HHB I call the bean queen. I post it a while back when I 1st got it shooting it's the bow I had on long string at Marshall. I really need to post it and another bow for a benefit I just finished, my only regret is that I didn't use stone point. I've been practicing a lot with steel lately and didn't think I'd get a 10 yard shoot on the ground. Figured if I need to stretch it a little I should use steel. I really wish I had knocked a stone point 600 grain red osier I know it would have done as good or better. Arrow was premium shaft po from lost archery I gotta Marshall. Grizzly single bevel from the same, turkey fletch
Bjrogg
Ps yes Ed I'll be smiling this harvest season and every time I pick up my bow and quiver
-
Deer stew, deer hash, deer sausage!!! Good job and great shot!
-
Way to go, bj!
Is hhb I got from ya at Marshall from same tree?
-
Thanks Orrum, don't forget the jerky I love jerky. Thanks Knoll, no this's
HHB was harvested on feb 27 2016. In roughed it out to heavy flor tiller and put long string on at Marshall. I wanted it to dry some more and put it in my pickup in the sun for awhile till it quit loseing weight then took it out and let it gain alittle. I harvested the one I gave you about a week before Marshall. I did just finish a bow from it for a benefit. I had roughed it out for my daughter in law and dried down some after a couple months I put it in pickup then let it sit till about 4 weeks ago. It's gonna be in auction or individual raffle this Sunday. It really turned out sweet. I put a lot into it was hard to let it go

Nice job, BJ.

Well done, BJ, that's a healthy looking Buck.
-
Thanks Paul, this was the bow you shoot when you dropped off my tee-shirts and gave me that Elm stave. Thank for doing all that too.
Thanks Eddie, I'm looking for my 8" of shaft and steel broad head right now. It's in 1 foot tall oats cover crop that's just as green and wet from dew as it can get. Any suggestions I got a cousin's metal detector but if I swipe it through the wet oats leaves I just seems to guff it up

Thanks Adam, thanks Pete, I guess I've been in a lot of minority groups in my life. Was always shortest in class, 1st to wear glasses, an American Farmer. I've always embraced my minority status and in most cases been proud of it. I'm REALLY PROUD of this minority group and so glad to be part of it. God Bless you to

Thanks Lumberman, he really had some nice back straps I cut them up tonight and cleaned up the back sinew. Saved the hooves I'm thinking I might use them for tip overlays or striker plates. Saved the leg bones for knife handles. Have the hide in freezer think I might try to brain tan it this winter.good luck to you lumberman.
Thank you Kleinpm I'm still seeing it replay in my mind. Good luck to you all Happy Hunting

Thanks for the pictures, he is a very nice 4 point and looks like your equipment made a bloody mess of him ;) :) Nice job.

Thanks Pappy, I probably should have cleaned him up a little 1st. Was no problem finding this one. Had a couple of my compound buddies there to help just in case. They were very impressed with the trail. They said Stevie Wonder could have found that one. It definitely gave me a boost of confidence in my equipment. I have to admit it sure feels good when someone asks if I'm going to try to shoot a deer with "that" to be able to say I already did. Had a great weekend here to a really good family here has just been given a very heavy cross to bare. They had a Benefit breakfast and silent auction and raffles. I donated a bow a really special bow. They had one table sit up with hunting stuff and a deck of cards by each prize. It was $30 to draw a card for my bow. My cousin Kevin ended up winning the bow. They sad it brought in well over $900. My brother knap a knife with white tail antler handle and a drift wood stand. I'm sure it did very well to cards where $10 a piece for it. I think it was a good way to do it just wish I would have known how they were going to before hand I'm sure I could have got a bunch more cards sold even maybe before the event. It was a fantastic turn out and I'm sure they where happy with how the event turned out. This is a very generous community when one of our own good families needs help. Lots of donated prizes and people to spend $$ for a good cause. Once again I feel so blessed to live here.

Thanks Brad, I did pretty good holding it together till after the shot and it all sunk in. When I saw the blood trail I had to go sit in my gun blind because the adrenaline was to much. Good luck guys there should be some good hunting coming up soon hope you all get one.
