firefighter Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I went out friday and got a late start, in the woods by 8:30 at my spot around 9:30... I found somewhat of a honey hole where deer travel through. saw 3 doe's and 2 bucks but they never offered a shot. Saturday i went to another area that i hunt on private land. This spot i've seen deer between 11 and 1pm everytime i go there. so i get to my spot around 10. This spot i hunt which has a under ground stream running through it, so i'm at the top of hill overlooking it, rubs and scraps all along the side of the hill. I use'd my grunt tube several times, around noon 1 see 3 doe's about 40 yards from comming up from the bottom, then about a minute later, i hear a crashing sound comming from the bottom right moving across to the left and comming up. I kneel down on 1 knee and out pops 2 mature doe's. I draw back waiting for a buck to come out, i didnt see one behind them so i dropped one. They we're about 15 yaards from me. When the arrow hit, she dropped in her tracks and started to crawl a little down the hill where she layed up. I was pretty pumped that this was my first deer with my bow.

firefighter Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Re: first deer with my bow I've been bow hunting for about 8 years now. Road the roller coaster of near misses adrenaline rush, missing shots "over-under", but this time i managed to keep myself in check and not rush my shot. I've learned how to stay calm, breath slowly and be above all PATIENCE is the key. It might have only been a doe, but what a rush it was ......... Sorry about not having any pictures wife left our digital camera in her sons car friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
