Dogg6 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 After 17 years shooting the same bow I decided it was time to come into the new age of compound bows. Last spring I bought a Browning Adrenaline SX, carbon arrows and a mechanical release. Basically I started from scratch. After putting in hours of practice with the new bow I felt really confident in the new set up. The biggest difference is the speed. Man is this thing fast. Started out the season with a couple does and then I was able to take my biggest buck yet. I harvested this big boy on 10-12-06. It was one of those nights you really don't plan on seeing much, but good things just happen. It was about 30 degrees, 20 to 30 mph wind out of the SW with a snow/rain mix falling. I'm setup on the N end of a creek bottoms on the edge of a cornfield. There is a water run heading north to south and my stand is at the end of it where it enters the woods. Had a dandy doe with a set of triplettes come out, but the doe didn't offer a shot, good thing now that I look back on it. About 45 minutes later I see this big boy show up about 400 yd to the N. He slowly works his way through a strip of soybeans, the a strip of alfalfa and then disappears at the end of the corn. Figured he crawled into the corn. Rolled the Can over 4-5 times and he came blasting around the corner of the corn and right down the water run to me. He stopped at about 50 yds for just a second and trotted the rest of the way in. He stopped at 10 yards and with a well placed arrow right behind the front shoulder he is mine. He went about 80 yds before piling up. He has a 17" inside with 6" brows and 10 3/4" G-2's and weighed 195 field dressed. Turned out to be quite a night.
