Turkeygirl Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well with only a week left in the season, it's getting down to the wire. Been holding out for one of the nicer one's I've gotten on cam, but I had seen a 4 point - not huge but nice for a 4 - on cam and from the stand, I decided if I aw him, I'd take him. Went out this AM and about 7:30ish heard something to my right, catch a deer coming down the trail, immediately stood and turned, grabbed my bow, saw it was the 4, drew back and grunted, he stopped, and around 15-18 yards sent an arrow behind his left shoulder, tad high, buried almost to the fletching, watch him run off and thought I could see blood running down his side. Blood immediately at the shot site and probably about a 100 yards later found him, arrow got broken but it did pass through and come out almost 1/2 way down behind the left shoulder. Could have tried holding out a few more days but working this weekend and all next week except Tuesday, who knows when my next shot opp. would have been...Gotta put meat in the freezer. Very happy with the deer. On to shotgun next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
