sawmillholler Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I was walking through the cedar glade tonight when I saw him laid up under a tree. He saw me and jumped and ran down the ridge a ways. I stalked very slowly and quietly down the ridge and got to within 25 yards before I could find a small shooting lane. I shot high and he bolted again. I stalked him again and again got about 25 yards away before I could find a shooting lane. It was very brushy. I shot again and hit him high in the neck, and he dropped like a sack of taters. I'd hit him in the spine. I walked up and put one more arrow into his chest and he died. This is my first deer with a bow! He has 5 points because one of his antlers was broken off right above the brow tine. I'm usually a better shot than this. I guess buck fever got me!

Maine Hntr Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Congrats sawmill, way to stick with it... probably one of the tougher things to do is to stalk a whitetail with a bow and get close enough for a shot.
