Alisha Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Haven't been here in a long while, but figured I'd share my buck from this year! Got him September 13th, so one month ago today! Small 5 point, but I couldn't be more proud! PSE Stinger 54lb draw, NAP Thunderhead Edge broadheads 5 yard shot.... only ran 60 yards before dropping in his tracks. Shot was a tad higher than I would've liked (because of the hard angle I'm surprised I didn't shoot over him!), but it still did the job!

jbeck Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Good job, that is a good buck to start the year, and by the way it has been a while since you were on. Good to see you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronS Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Congrats Alisha and RangerClay. I hunted the first Saturday of our archery season (10/4). A cold front had moved in and deer were active. I saw 8 deer that morning, 6 of which were bucks. The first deer I saw was a bachelor group of 4, 2 of which were 3.5 yr olds and one was 4.5 or older. They never got closer than 60 yards and didn't respond to calling. I snuck out and snuck back in to the same stand that evening, hoping they would come back by on their way to my plot. For once, a plan worked. As I was watching the 3.5 yr old 8 pointer feed 60 yards below me, I heard 2 bucks sparring at the edge of my plot 80 yards away. The leaves were too thick to see anything where they were. After a bit they quit and started feeding farther into the plot. I saw it was the 3.5 yr old 10 pointer and the older buck. I grunted and they came right to me, rubbing trees along the way. I shot the older buck at 15 yards.........and caught part of the shoulder blade, getting very little penetration. I wanted to throw up watching him run off with most of my arrow hanging out of him. I tracked him several hundred yards that night and looked a few hours the next morning with no luck. He had crossed onto the neighboring property, and a couple of days later I was able to find out who the landowner is and obtain permission to look. The following Saturday my wife and I found what was left of him. I was ready to throw up again because I hoped and really expected that he would heal up, considering where I hit and how far he had gone. I won't post the field pic because the coyotes and vultures had done a number on him. Here is the finished product, boiled, bleached and hanging in the living room.

dbHunterNY Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 no pictures. on October 5th I harvested a 5.5 year old doe that weighed 122 lbs field dressed. so probably around 152 lbs live weight if you figure entrails are about 20% of its weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
