ksdeerhunter03 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Well I wasnt planning on hunting/sweating opening day, but a buddy wanted to film me so I went, we had 2 mature does and 2 yearling come in, I asked if he was ready, so I come to full draw, 20 yard chip shot, wack! String caught my armguard, missed clean. The doe just looks at us, so I draw again, clean miss, that one I pulled! Third times a charm? Not for me, she finally took off right as I was squeezing the release! This brings me to the evening hunt, my wife wanted to go watch me shoot something, and to be honest, I needed to kill to redeem myself! About 5:15 I was getting bored, so at 5:30 I tell her we should see something soon, shortly after I catch movement to my right, and its 2 bucks and a doe, and one of the bucks is a shooter! I get her attention and grab my bow, she has the camera on him and he is on a string, 7 yards, let it rip, nailed him!!!! He runs about 65 yards and stands bleeding out of his side, the angle was funny I knew I caught him good on the front side, but the exit was back, so he walks slowly off and I hear him bed down. We waited an hour, I check my arrow, good clean red blood. Find the trail to where he stood, good bright red clean blood, but not a whole lot. We decide to wait. About dark we slowly follow the trail, about 100yards up he gets up and cant hardly move but then bolts out, so we left him last night. I have some buddies going to look today and I will go out tonight. I watched the video, he is hit good, I know I caught liver for sure. We will find him, but too bad the meat wont be edible. Not the way I wanted to start the year, but its a start, and I will have video up soon for you al. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Missed, Missed, Missed, SMACKED a GOOD ONE! Good luck finding him. Sounds like he's hit good and won't go too much further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Missed, Missed, Missed, SMACKED a GOOD ONE! [ QUOTE ] but too bad the meat wont be edible. [/ QUOTE ] I'm confused....why won't the meat be edible? I've let plenty deer sit over-night, and the meat has "always" been edible. You just have to cut off the belly-flaps, back to the tenderloins and backstraps, and give it a good white vinegar wipe down on the inside of the body cavity. There is nothing wrong with the meat if you find it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bucknutt Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Missed, Missed, Missed, SMACKED a GOOD ONE! geez guys, brad just sent me still photo's of this deer from his footage last night, i was hunting bout a half mile south of him and he called me for the attempted recovery team.. it has an extra main beam on the left side, like a drop tine that comes from the brow tine and runs parallel with the main beam to the point. we have to find this deer. he should have pics up shortly i'm assuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdeerhunter03 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Missed, Missed, Missed, SMACKED a GOOD ONE! Hutchies, I dont know for sure, it was soooo fast in coming, I think it comes off the base of his left antler. Too bad its 90+ here this week, I really wanted to eat him!!!

ksdeerhunter03 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: Missed, Missed, Missed, SMACKED a GOOD ONE! I guess he will go 140", could be a little more, but he was a mature buck, that what the 3 of us agreed on, only mature bucks and does!
