gzilla45 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I finally got off the schnide with my bow and shot a fork horn last Friday afternoon. I've been a gun hunter since I can remember and only have picked up bow hunting for about 5 years or so. I really started getting into it last year and quite frankly now enjoy it more than gun hunting I think. I think I saw 18 deer in two days up to that point and this guy came running into the grunt call. At one point he was about 8 feet from the base of my tree and I thought for sure he would see/smell me but he walked out into my lane. I was shocked as to my relative calmness and I guess I can attribute that to my shooting practice. He only ran about 30 yards after the shot as the G5's did the trick. I only wish I was able to get better pictures of him but the memories will last forever. Can't wait to get out and fill a doe tag and start hunting for bigger ones next year.
