My 2012 Oklahoma Bow Harvest

I started my vacation on Friday, November 2nd. I had already arrowed a doe and a young 8 point so my season was off to a great start.

That following weekend, I hunted hard, but did not see a deer. I was getting pretty frustrated because I knew the rut was close and my lease has always come through during this time of year.

Fast forward to Thursday, November 8th. Over the previous 10 sits, I had seen a total of 3 deer. I was planning on getting down a little early because a buddy and I were heading up to my other lease about 2 hours north of here.

At 7:10, I saw this bad boy coming my way from the east(wind was blowing from east). I stood up, moved my face mask, adjusted my glasses and clicked on my release. At 40 yards, he stopped and hit an old scrape. I drew back my bow. After what seemed like forever, he started walking straight towards me. At about 25 yards, he hit a trail, turned broadside and stopped. My HHA adjustable sight was already set on 25, so I settled my pin a little behind his shoulder since he was quartering away and released. He high kicked and took off running. I let out a loud mouth grunt and he slowed down a bit. At 70 yards, he slowed to a stop and started looking around. I started questioning my shot then. But then he fell down. I waited and listened as he took his last breaths. Gave him an hour and then went to recover my biggest bow kill to date!

I just picked his cape up from the processor and plan on scoring him tonight for the AT deer contest so I will let you know what he scores.

Congrats Kevin! Heck of a bow kill. How's the family? Didn't you buy a tire shop last year or something? Hope all is going as well as your deer season

The family's doing good Ryan, thanks for asking. We bought the tire shop this April and its doing good.

I was looking at your Three Rivers buck just last night. Boy time sure does fly by!
