Turkeygirl Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 First shot was high, quartering to and spined her. Put in a follow-up shot through her heart. 10 yards from the stand at most. With no venison left i nthe freezer and not tagging a deer last year with bow, sure feels good to break the ice. Wasn't proud of the spine shot though...my error completely.

Turkeygirl Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 So story goes I'm sitting in a ladder stand, usually one I sit in when we hunt at the neighbor's cabin an hour away. about 8:45am I hear rustling in the woods behind me. 4 does come up this ridge and pass behind me at about 25 yards out into a grassy lane I had walked up. There were shrubs in the way so no shot but they fed and hung around a bit before moving back into the woods. I had put some code blue doe urine on my boots when I walked up and sprayed some on weeds so I dunno if it worked but this one doe turned and came in on a line...Drew back, she was broadside then turned again. She walked closed, about 10 yards let her have it, shot spined her, was high, she dropped in her tracks. I waited until she turned broadside and put a 2nd arrow behind her shoulder, angled straight down and through her heart. View from the stand: End result: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_lou Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Congrats on the freezer meat. I spined a doe once and it is a pretty bad feeling. At least you got another arrow into her to ease any suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
