Thanks again guys!

Beautiful situation.  :tup:

Must have been a curious bugger to respond to rattling in mid December eh?

I can't say for sure that he responded to the rattling, may have just been going from point A to point B?  But I saw a big buck the night before that was bird dogging a doe right at dark, so there's still unbred doe's out there.  I've rattled in bucks as late as January 6th before...so you never know!

That's awesome.   :tup:

Did I read it right?  You were in a treestand?  I remember trying to shoot my recurve from a treestand...not the easiest  :o
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Great buck and did it the hard way. Congratulations.

You shooting cedar, ramin or fir? 

Also, I noticed your shafts are footed.  Are you doing those yourself or buying them complete?

I build douglas fir arrows.  Still have some cedar stashed away, but the Surewood douglas fir shafts are far superior to the POC these days. 

I do have a footed arrow in my quiver, but used a solid doug fir arrow on this buck.  I got the shafts from Ted Fry in Hood River, make three for myself each summer.  These were douglas fir footed with wenge.  I just bought a jig to try making my own 4 leg footed shafts, but will have to wait till after the holidays to play with it.

These are the footed arrows I made for myself last summer...



I also made several dozen for a local fella...

Yes, had to wait for the buck to cross from the right behind me to the left...too awkward to shoot to my right.
