Team 1 ~ First Blood ~


Recommended Posts

Shot a mature doe with the crossbow. Think I got one lung as there were bubble spots on the bolt vanes. Trailed the blood for 200 yards then it started specking. Stopped the search and will look in the AM. Cold tonight - teens so the meat will be fine (froze actually). Keep your fingers crossed! Sure hope I recover her.

Looked for several hours and - no deer. She never bedded and after 250 yards got the bleeding to stop. Grid searched for hours and covered a lot of ground until it became apparent that she wasn't going to be found. I hate shooting and not recovering - bummed me out. Not the way I wanted to end the season that's for sure.

My season is over. Last 3 trips out I didn't even see a deer. I did take out a raccoon last night. Way too many - I counted 7 in one trail can picture a couple weeks ago. Going to get my first coon pelt. Was nice to end the season with some blood in the truck bed - even if it was coon blood. Been a great year and I too was glad to share it with everyone.

I took some time reading through your team's thread today. Really enjoyed seeing how well y'all conversed as a team. That's what it's about! GREAT JOB!!! Wish everyone would take the time to see how a team comes together like y'all did. Congratulations to all of you on a great season and great teamwork.

Thanks Frank...same here. It's all about having fun and getting to know your teammates on the forum better. My memory is fuzzy but I think you & I have been on the same team once before...Ruth too once a long time ago. Never been on the same team with Pat. Andy & I were on the same team a few years ago. Recall him killing a nice 10 point that year on Martin's place around their opener.

Congratulations on the nice late season 8 point too Frank. You had an outstanding season.

Thanks Al - i was very happy to fill my last tag with that 8point. yea we might have been on the same team but it would have been a while - 2009 or 2008 maybe. I've been on Ruth and Pats team before - fairly recent. I don't remember being on the winning team so like the Cubs say - wait till next year!
