pendog Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Here is my first bow buck, he is not quite P&Y but i am very happy with him. Having harvested many bigger bucks with guns i thought about not posting this but it has been a long road to this point and i am pleased with the result. Went out Sat morning and got in late to the stand, it was already getting light so i figured i had blown the first morning. After an hour on the stand i started to move around a bit and stand up for a while, to my dismay i turned and spoted movement in the brush 60 yards below me. After putting my release back on (longer story) i looked around the tree again to see this buck coming up the hill on the path i took to my stand. I thought about passing on him but in the end he presented such a great shot, he came up the hill to where he was slightly above my stand (hill was very steep) at 22 yards i touched the release and thwaack. He spun around and bolted 15 yards and stopped beside a tree, he stood there for a few minutes then he layed down. after a while i noticed he was still alive so i finished him off with a shot to the heart, on a bad note the last shot broke one of my new easton arrows:mad:. Turns out he was quartering toward me more than i realized and i hit liver and part of the stomach:confused:. Also i am happy that the new Mission bow shot so well, also the 100 grain 4 blade muzzy made a huge entry hole twice the size of the cutting blade. Not a monster but meat in the Freezer and i still have a buck tag for gun season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhine16 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Congratulations man! Nothing wrong with that one for your first. I've been doing this thing for ten years now and am still looking for my first on a bad note the last shot broke one of my new easton arrows:mad:. BTW- If you buy new arrows next year, look into the Full Metal Jackets. The axis arrows can't compare with the durability of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pendog Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I thought about the fmjs but thought they might bend after a hit, the last shot went through the heart then into the front leg. The deer stretched out and snap went the arrow. I love the idea of the fmj arrows though. I am proud of the deer, i guess it's the thought of not being a ble to take a larger one with my bow if one comes by, early season dilema i guess.

Well the FMJs would've very likely broken in that situation also, but I've shot both and there is no comparison in my opinion. I'd be proud of that buck! It'll be hard not being able to shoot another one, but I'd be proud of what I had! Congratulations again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brutal Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Grats on your first bow Buck! Hopefully next year I have the same luck and get a buck. I have been reading the forums for awhile but haven't posted. Me and the wife both bought brand new bows this year although I already gun hunt. Next year we will both be in the woods bow opener and I hope she doesn't get a Bow Buck before I do lol!! First deer of any wep (bow, rifle/shotgun, muzzy, spear(we wish))) will always be a memorable moment. Grats again to you! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rad_112176 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 That is an awesome pic. Congrats on the deer. Any deer taken with a bow should be trophy. Alot of work into getting into the right situation to be able to take one and then making the shot once the time has arrived. Congrats.

pendog Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks everyone, cut him up last night and pleased with the yield of meat. Usually the 7mm does a bit more damage to the fronts than the easton 400 did:) Alot of confidence for the future when things go good like they did, i love this bowhunting!!!
