Jimfrompa Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 This morning I went out after getting 4 hours of sleep. My good friend Jeff tagged along as he got his buck the first day and he was up for a visit. We both headed out to a spot where another friend had gotten a doe earlier in the week and since we were a little late getting out stayed on the ground in hopes of intercepting a carousing buck. We were only there about a half an hour when I saw something move about 80 yards off in the woods. A short time later I saw a gray squirel and supposed that was what I saw. Not five minutes later as I looked back at the spot I see a buck walking towards us. I whispered to Jeff "a buck about 80 yards out". And we watched him walk slowly but steady towards us. He than made a left turn and disappeared. I gave two grunts with my mouth and waited but didn't see him until Jeff said there is a deer behind me on the hill. Jeff changed spots with me and we waited until into view came the buck. He mad his nose to the ground and was headed right towards us. At 15 yards he was looking strait through me and than he turned slightly broadside and at 10 yards I let fly my arrow. SMACK!!! "Good shot might be a little back but you got him in the liver at least" Jeff said. We watched as he broke the arrow off on a sapling and than ran 30 yards and stopped. Than off he went. Since we were sure of a good hit and we were on the ground we slowly went to the spot where we saw the arrow break off. "Good blood " Jeff said. So we slowly tracked him to the road and across. Than about 50 yards in I saw him. He was down. For some reason the picture post will not let me in but when I can get in I will post a few pictures. I thank God for his bounty on this Beautiful last day of the Pennsylvania Bow hunting season. I really was blessed to share this hunt with my good friend Jeff and in the camp with my brother Dan, and my friends Stein and Martin and Dillon. This is one I will always treasure.
