Guest Hold_em_Archery Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well, I had an interesting hunt last night. I got to my hunting location in the afternoon yesterday, good news; I was hunting / bad news; I got in later then I wanted to because of work. I got to one of my two stand locations, good news; there was fresh deer sign / bad news; the deer were actually there, and I busted about a dozen out from under my stand. I approached my tree to get on stand, good news; despite the heat, I managed to not get over heated, and wasn't really sweating (yet) / bad news; the tree my stand was in had been cut down. There was logging happening lower in the hollow, but I guess they are moving up the hill, and my stand was no where to be found. I decided to go to other stand location, good news; I have another stand in the area so i can still hunt / bad news; it's at the top of the ridge about a mile away and I'm going to sweat a lot!! I got to my 2nd stand and climbed in, good news; I was hunting / bad news; I was soaked with sweat and afraid I wouldn't see anything. Around 10 after 6 I turned to find a large doe, and 4 of her friends heading my way. The lead doe was favoring her shoulder, so I decided that I would take her. She didn't apprear to have been shot before, and I doubt she was hit by a car, but still she was the biggest of the 5 and she gave me a perfect shot angle (30 yards, slightly quartering away). Good news; I laid the smack down on her and she went about 30 yards before she piled up from the G5 that took out both lungs / bad news; I was up until after 1am butchering. With the exception of loosing a tree stand, I wouldn't have changed a minute of it all. I love this archery stuff!! Continued luck to everyone.

Master_Chief Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 That is an awesome story. I think that is why we hunt, if it was the same all the time and easy everyone would do it. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClaw Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Great story and congrats on the bowkill! Most of us probably would have been so ticked at the missing stand we would have gone home. Thanks for the encouragement. You're a true hunter and an inspiration to all of us! Congrats again!!
