Turkeygirl Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 wearing RT hardwoods pants and a jacket in RT AP, I put the Hoyt to the test this morning, about quarter after 7am and sent an arrow into a tasty button buck:D I was about as excited as anything...since starting bowhunting 7 years ago, I've now gotten a deer out of this stand every year, and this is my first deer taken in the morning, my farthest shot taking a deer, and I've only had this bow 1 year and it now has 4 deer to it's credit:cool: So the story goes Andy and I get in our stands a little before 6:30am. Gets light out. About 7ish I see a doe about 50 yards in front of me, I'm watching her, then I hear a snap and right behind me and below me is a button buck. Oh shoot, I can't move! He looks up and must have seen my head move. He never really freaked though, he looked again, stomped, then trotted into some hemlocks to my right. I couldn't see him and thought he'd left. Then I hear him and he comes out to my right.One clear shot, not even a shooting lane but if I can get him to stop between these trees, perfect. My hand shakes putting the release on the loop:eek: He's not 30 yards but farther then 20...aah what pin? Ok, just get a pin on him! I draw my bow..BAAHH...he stops broadside, I quickly put the sight on him, aiming between 25 and 30 and let her fly. THWACK! I hear it hit and he takes off. YES, I know it hit good! I climb down and find blood almost immediately, I call Andy on the radio to let him know then I go back to my stand to get my back and stuff. Blood trail is great, despite wet wet leaves, I find my arrow and about 40 yards from where I hit him, there he lays. Then while cleaning him, a doe was about 20-25 yards behind me, didn't know she was there until I moved and she snorted. What an awesome morning to be outside. The Lord really blessed me today! Sorry for the long story,lol. By the way thanks Realtree, I really really think that camo really helped me, especially the AP, I love it.

Turkeygirl Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Oh yeah, shot a little high but clipped the back of both lungs and the arotic artery against the spine. Arrow almost went all the way through, stopped against the hide on the opposit side, but must have fallen out, was lying on the ground.

shockwave Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Great job !!!But I disagree with the camo theory, you could kill a deer naked if your in the right spot and if you have the wind in your favor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
