Well I had a blast with this one!!!
Eric is a member on here and moved to town this last year. We have got be be good friends and he is also working for us now. He told me that he was wanting to just do a management hunt to put some meat in the freezer. I told him that without a special permit he could not hunt with a rifle to take a doe/antlerless deer. Well August rolls around and he tells me that he just bought a new bow! So the hunt was on! We got him all dialed in for the hunt and got him use to shooting his new bow. We have been busy on the farm and have not had much time to hunt. Well we decided to give yesterday a go and I am glad we did!!!. We found a group of deer down one of the draws and decided to put a stalk in on them. I am very surprised they stuck around and let us get so close to them. It was either just hide in the cover or make a run across the open fields. The picked wrong!!! After getting into range he got setup for the shot. The shot was right around 28 yards. He made a great shot threw the top on the heart and both lungs. The deer ran in a figure 8 and dropped about 75 yards from us. He has shot lot's of critters with rifles but had never got a big game animal with a bow. I think I have him hooked now!!!!
I have a few more hunters for the other seasons, so I am looking forward to there hunts as well.
Here is a picture of him with his deer. Hope you enjoy and congrats to Eric
