PAarcher Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Got out a little later than I would have liked this a.m. It was just the time of morning when I could walk in without a headlamp. Climbed in nice and quiet. 20 min went buy and a doe came walking down the trail. I didn't plan on shooting her, but aparently the guy that parked himself on the ground 40yds from me decided he'd launch a cross bow bolt at her and I saw his luminock go about a foot and a half over her back. Needless to say he cut off all the deer coming my direction all morning. Got to love public land. He was walking around looking for his arrow I climbed down and helped him find it. It was only 10yds from my tree. We talked he said he wouldn't hunt there anymore he had a few other spots. All in all it went better than I anticipated. I was just bummed out he scared some deer including a buck heading toward my stand he went in blind this a.m. for the PA opener and was sitting right on a big trail. Interesting morning to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WvBowhunterKE Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Sounds like a pretty interesting morning, Your public land sounds much like the way it is in WV. Its unfortunate the man didnt get to harvest himself the deer, but hopefully to his misfortune god will bless you with yours. Climbing down out of your stand to help him is a rare show of sportsmanship. You dont see that too much anymore, if he didnt thankyou I will on his behalf. It just shows you the bond between hunters, theres nothing like it in the world. I hope you have a good season in PA. Score a big one for me, As for myself all I will get to score is a few sand storms over here in Iraq. Best of wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
