12/22 Bow Buck

Its been a fun past 12 days of bowhunting for me, as the onset of our rut is here. I've had a lot of bucks in bow range, including three that I gave the pass card to that were better than the deer I took yesterday, and a ~130 and 140+(twice) that had stepped into top pin range but I wasn't able to release an arrow any of the three times. I was in an arrow slinging mood yesterday though, and I was given fuel to my fire when this buck stepped into the clover/oat plot at 45 yards. He fed for a few minutes and then made his way to my tree to freshen a few scrapes. I was able to draw as he walked in, and sent an arrow through his vitals as he worked a scrape a mere 6 yards from the base of my tree.

Good deal Rhine!!!! Not bad, not bad at all. I have yet to have a buck worth even thinking about drawing on in bow range this year. Only good dear was in the rain on Christmas I blew it on (you know that story, and he's still limping around too my buddy saw him).

Still at it, last 2 years my best bow opportunities were late January, maybe I can see something like that.

Congratulations again!
