SuperMn106 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 My brother and I decided to go out to a piece of property that I have access to here is missouri thursday morning. Our goal this year is to get a hunt on camera. We found a good tree and climbed up into it. I was set up above him. At about 7:30 he started shaking the tree (that is our way of telling the other we see deer) so i look to where he is facing and see a deer coming our way. I hand him the camera and grab my bow. When is gets closer we notice it is a spike and we both do not like shooting spikes. He stays around us for about 10-15 mins practically walking circles and looking like he has no idea where he is going. It was quite funny. After he left we sat back and down and about 7:50 he starts shaking the tree again so I grab my bow and stand up and another spike walks through the shooting lane at 26 yards. We were looking for anything but a spike. We decided we would get down at 9:30. At 9:20 My brother looks at me and says "last time I sat this stand and went to get down, I got half way down and deer showed up all over so keep an eye out." I watch as he brings his bow rope up 3 feet off the ground and I heard some noise and here comes some deer and they are moving pretty good. I had him back the camera and get my bow. When I turn around the first deer (doe) was already past my shooting lane. I see the second doe coming in and tell him "Second deer, I am taking the Second one." So I draw back as stops in my 20 yard land broadside. As I am placing the pin behind her shoulder I catch something out of the corner of my eye. There is another deer coming so I tell him "No, Third one, Third one there is another deer coming. Its a buck, I'm gonna take him." This buck was 10 yards behind these does pushing them hard. He stops in my 20 yard lane and starts to quarter to me just slightly. I do not remember where I was aiming because I tought myself to aim for the exit hole and not the entrance. I aim for my arrow to come out just behind the opposite shoulder. When I released I heard it hit and seen some coloring right at the front shoulder. When he took off he was falling forward and digging pretty good trying to keep his balance. So after I lost sight of him, I turned to my brother and asked him "Where was the hit? I think it might be a little forward because I seen some coloring right at his shoulder and think it might be my fletchings." So our answer to that was to play back the footage and see if we could see it hit. Well it turns out that he forget to hit the record button. . As we are sitting there laughing about it and me giving him a little bit of a hard time. One of the does comes back into the shooting lane just starring at us. She was probably thinking, What are you two doing up there? I can see you plain as day. lol. So we get down and look for blood. At point of impact there was blood everywhere. Seeing as we wanted to scout out another area we left him lay and went to check out the other area. We got back and followed the blood trail, and a pretty good one at that. He ran 90 yards and piled up. It turned out that I blew through the front shoulder and exited right behind the opposite shoulder. Took out the top of the heart and liquified one lung. I love Muzzys! All in all it was a blast of hunt, even though we did not get it on film. It was great to share it with a brother and a memory I will have forever. It is my best buck to date. Now my brother and I dedicated the rest of this year to sitting together on every hunt and trying to get a hunt on camera. Sorry for the long story and now here are the pics. me and the deer again My brother and I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMn106 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Congrats on your buck, sounds like you guys had a good time! :cool: BTW, you do know you are wearing a Michigan shirt, right? I was hoping no one would notice lol j/k. I figured since the people with the jerseys are not doing good I could do my part to do something good while I wear it.

Stinger-Hunter Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 That's a great story. Loved it! Congratulations. You are giving me hope. I got a few things out of that story. Always keep an eye out and bucks are chasing does. Oh yeah, one more thing - never stop scouting. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
