Hi all
sorry have to brag a bit
my first real weekend to bow hunt ended real fast this week
I got my 3 bow shot buck this weekend,
actually Friday morning at 7:50ish AM
He was the 6th deer i saw that morning and the 3rd arrow i shot :cry:
I have not been shooting my bow at all this year other then a few quick arrows to make sure it was all tuned in, and i had 2 major brain farts, on my distance and pins (damn super fast bows all you need is 1 pin to 30 yards)
well to make a long story short i shot over 2 differnet does in a matter of 20 minutes and passed on 2 does and a button buck (cute little bugger, but I almost had to shoot him to get him to quit bothering the hot doe that was buzzing my tree)
well then the smallish 6 point started cruising the does ,making them all crazy, once he got wind of another buck in the area he got a tad pissed and started pawing the ground and grunting like a pig. When he got to the same spot the little guy was at he bolted straight across the field right at the base of my tree, at 10 yards i was already at full draw adn coulf not get to a call or tube so i did the next best thing, I whistled at him he jammed on the breaks in mid stride and WHAM the splitfire ripped through him and sent him crashing towards the brush and it was over in about a total of 50 seconds, from the time I saw him to i shot him to he fell dead.
He was about 140ish dressed 1.5 years old, 6 point with outside spread of 11 inches (not a monster by any means but since my bow hunting weekends are very slim this year he will taste just fine)
That's hunting, too bad it was too warm to get digital pics (I have to buy one instead of keep borrowing others) so I had to have him butchered friday eve. (I normally do my own but was afraid with it being 70+ degrees I had to get him done)
SO i will try to post the reg pics once i scan them in next week
