SpcNape Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well guys I almost didn't go out tonight, don't ask me why but I debated with myself on whether I should hunt or take the rest of the day resting on the couch. Well I got out today at about 3:00 and saw nothing but squirrels. Then right at about ten minutes before shooting time was coming to a close I heard another squirrel working his way behind me to my right. The more I listened the more I started thinking it might be a deer. Sure enough out steps a buck making his way to the bedding area. I gave him a quick grunt and he kept walking. So I thought I'd get a little more aggressive. I grunted loud and hard and he stopped in his tracks. I "growled" at him and gave a few more grunts and he committed. He walked under my stand about fifteen yards. This is the first buck I've successfully called in. He was searching for the deer and then he looked right up at me. I wasn't drawn back yet, so as soon as he looked away I drew and let the arrow fly. I hit him a little more forward than I would have liked but it did the job. I got down and it was getting dark fast so I started looking for my arrow, when I couldn't find it I backed out and called my brother. On the way back into start finding the blood trail we came across the trail. It was a fairly easy find, even though it was in the dark. This is my first bow buck. I was laughing with my brother I've bow hunted for about eight or ten years (if you count deployments, but I don't) and this is the first year I've connected with my bow, and now I've killed two deer in less than a month with my bow. Good year, my brother came back from his deployment and we've been able to hunt together, my first son was born, and I've finally connected with my bow. The Lord has been good.
