rossman Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I killed a nice 10 point last night with the bow. Shot him around 4:50pm. tracked him from 8:30pm till 1:00am. Rattled him in while using a grunt tube, not the buck growl, just a regular old fasioned grunt tube!!!! Here are the pics... 25 yard shot. cliped the back part of his lungs. I;m so pumped right now!!!! Later--rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossman Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Re: Smoked Checked a 10 point!!! Havn't put tape to him yet. I will now and get back to you. When I shot him I knew it was a lethal hit but wasn't too sure how lethal. So, I waited for it to get dark and snuck out of there like a ninja. went home and grabbed a bite to eat and checked the weather. The weather said, "80% chance of precipitation of rain and snow". After I saw that I knew we couldn't wait til morning, because the blood may wash away, and knew it would be a long night. We gave him about 3.5 hours to die and went after him. I was crawling through the merky freezing water on my hands and knees. soaked from head to toe and shivering. I thought I was in the Navy Seal training program!!!! But, we recovered him. Then to top it all off, we got the 4 wheeler stuck in the mud and hung up on stumps for about 30 minutes trying to get it back to the deer. But it was worth every second of it, I love this crap!!!! Also, I think this buck is a good example why managing does are important. We have a terrible doe to buck ratio, I would guess about 20:1 or even maybe 25:1 does to bucks. This deer was very heavy and his horns seem like they should have been bigger for his body size. Don't get me wrong, I think he is a great buck, and am really pumped to have the opportunity. But if there wasn't such competition for food, I believe he would have had bigger horns, especially in his mass measurements and tine length. The problem is, the farmers refuse to shoot does, they look at them like their friends. They only shoot bucks and they shoot every buck they see. But it's their land and we all know how hard farmers work so maybe they can do whatever they want. But anyway, now it's time to take some does and do my part to manage the herd. Thanks again!!!--rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
