hoythunter37 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Sorry guys/gals i haven't been on here since I dont know how long, but things have been crazy since I got done with school. I finally got out into the woods and got my first P&Y the day before our gun season. I just thought I would share my scary/sickening/wonderful experience. Well it was the day before our gun season started and I was talking to my dad tellin him that I didnt know if I wanted to go tonight friday Nov 13, because I was just going to save that day and then hunt all day saturday and sunday. My dad said well if anything you can just go out scout and bring the bow along just in case. Finally he convinced me so I headed up to my family farm. Well I get up into my stand about 2pm and started my wait. I was getting tired by 3 and I had tree rats all around me so I thought I would see if my bow was on. I had one at 17 yards BAM one down. I get down from my tree stand grab my arrow and back up the tree stand I go the time now is about 3:20. I clean off my arrow and nocked it back up time now is about 3:25. After that I have woken up a bit and I got settled back down. All of a sudden I think I hear a grunt. I turn my head and see this doe comin straight for me with 3 shooter bucks and one spike behind her. I draw back on this really tall 10 at 25 yards and he jumps behind some brush so I keep an eye on him to come out and then I catch some movement at 20 yards and see this stud 12 while I am still at full draw. I put my pin on him and release and see my arrow go straight into his guts time 3:33. If anyone has ever been in this position they can tell you that I was so close to getting sick in the stand as I have ever been. He ran off and all I could think was that this was going to be the longest night of my life and I couldnt believe I made that kind of shot. I shoot way better then that and just let my nerves get the better of me. I called my dad and brother and told them what had happen. Well we waited til 7pm or so and went and thought we would just check for some sign and if it was as bad as I thought we would back off till morning. Well we got to where I shot him and found pretty good blood for about 65 yards and there he was laying at 75 yards. Come to find out I hit the liver. If my dad or bother would tell you all that I fell to the ground and just laid there for about 5 min and almost cried over this deer. It was such a roller coaster ride from seeing yourself gut shooting a monster and then come to find out that he only ran 75 yards it was nothing but pure luck to find this deer. Either way I learned three very important things that night. One calm yourself before you shoot, two pick a hair and squeeze the trigger not pull, and three have people there to help you track and drag the deer. lol I know it was a long story and im sorry about that, but I just thought I would share my awesome experience with you all. This is my first P&Y and biggest deer of my life so far. He green scored 147 3/8. (just to let you know I did not score him I had my brother do it.) We are training to become official scorers.

NBomb500 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 What an awesome buck!!! Good story too! Congrats on a really nice deer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 friday Nov 13 Whoever said friday the 13th was unlucky, should be shot ...LOL :) That is one awesome story and one beautiful buck. Way to go on a great recovery too. I clipped the gut on both of my deer this year, and recovered them also. Don't get too down on yourself, and count your blessings bud. It just means we both have to practice more, and keep on trusting when we think we've blown it. :) Again...Way to go !!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yes sir, that right there is what bow hunting it is all about! So much is going through the mind when it comes down to crunch time. Then the shot and the feelings when thinking of it whether it be good or bad. Then the tracking...well, you know the rest! Great story on a great Missouri buck! WTG! A long time coming, but certainly worth the wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missionman Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Great Trophy!! Its hard not to get nervous and rush a shot when something like that comes out. Best thing to do is try not to stare at them horns to much!! I know it screws me up if I do. Good luck on the rest of the season.............
