My sons first archery deer
« on: December 09, 2012, 08:53:54 AM »
Last day....Last hour of light kill.  He finally got his first bow kill. I had taken 2 shots at her earlier. Hit a tree with the first one. Went right under her belly with the second. She ran a little to the right. My son put the range finder on her. 43 yards....Sweet he thought. Wacked her a bit far back but got some lung. She piled up after only 20 yards. There was a real nice 2pt running with her that wouldn't leave her alone. He made a good shot and we had a pretty easy 200 yard drag. My son missed a couple longer shots the day before so we came back and did some practicing and he felt better. Didn't see many bucks. I had a great 49yard shot that morning on a nice buck,but i forgot to check for 3pt(the unit just switched from a 2pt or better a few years back) So i had to draw down and get the binos on him to check and he decided he had seen enough. Too bad cause i could see 2 points for sure. Oh well if had shot him.My son would have never got his deer. Good Karma i guess.

If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
