Tag notched! Finally!!
« on: September 07, 2014, 05:21:49 AM »
Well after a long drought period, I was finally able to get it done. I have had opportunities,  but just wasn't able to connect. Until yesterday.  I watched this doe come in, little skiddish and on high alert. As I sat there looking at her,  she was facing away not presenting a clean shot. I turned ever so slightly in the seat and she heard the sound of the fabric on the seat.  She looked straight at me, I froze, hoping that I did t mess it up. After what seemed like an eternity, she presented me with a slightly quartering to shot. I went automatic, draw, level, pin release. WHACK!!! Arrow plowed through her and buried in the ground behind her. She ran 30 yards and piled up. What a thrill.  I was shaking something fierce after the shot.  :IBCOOL: I wanna say thanks again to a great person, and an even better friend.  It was a pleasure being able to share this with him. Thanks again Seth!

Spud,

you did a great job on that doe.  I don't think she made it 30 yards before crashing :tup:  Your welcome to hunt with me any time :tup:
