dartonman Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Pics will be posted in the morning, better light, and its cold and raining here.....my story is this....I located a few weeks ago a swampy bog at the edge of a small town with lots of dead trees, a creek, muddy run offs, and corn, corn, corn......I got permission, and hung a stand....I did not trim anything up, just hung a stand in a staging area and left.....I was in the stand tonite before the rain, temps hovering in the upper 40's, spitting rain, and breazy.....at about 605pm I glanced toward the edge of the swamp and corn edge, and noticed an antler....then the eye, nose, and here he comes walking the edge of the swamp, and was going to pass at 15 yards....problem was that he was gonna wind me as soon as he was in the clearing.....I grabbed the small bottle of doe pee I bought in our classified ads from Mr Wiggley, and started dropping small amounts down the tree onto limbs.....he started to wind the urine immediately......I had to get to my knees for a clear shot, so I did...while sitting on my knees in a small portable stand, I let the Darton launch the goldtip arrow, and I purposely aimed low, due to the fact I have a tendency to aim too high...lol.........I drilled him, seen the arrow bust through the low center shoulder, and he immediately tucked his tail under him, and lowered his head, and charged into the swamp.....he went 50 yards, and I heard him crash......the broadhead sliced the aorta, and I got both lungs......I went home and got my friend Terry, his little boy Trevor, and my boys Hunter and Marshall.....I let the boys track the deer to the tree......he is approx. 3-4 years old, and 285-290 pounds....he is a nice Illinois 9 point Swamp buck..........lessons learned folks, its not always the big properties that hold deer.....this deer was killed 150 yards from a sub division, and he has lived back there undetected for years.......well, till tonite...God Bless, pics are in the morning, he is a fat one, Pics are now posted, and thanks so much to Billkay, I really would like him to post a third pic of the deers body size, he is a hog, and the deer carried in his spine, a cheap Wal mart broadhead from years past, deer are great survivors...........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
