A little sleeping going on.

Of course I just started dozing when the buck walked by the blind at about 6 feet....

That's awesome

That's what I expect our 16 yo to look like tomorrow.

I had a feeling your son might find something to aim at today.

He's not much into writing, will try to get him to post something in the Youth Board tomorrow or I will post the photos. Here is a video link. It is the first time I have ever gotten a good clear one at th shot. Also the first time using illuminated nocks... my arrows will be getting these soon.

I say in the video it might be a little far back, but the buck was facing slightly away, and the shot was perfect. We only waited long enough to grab the bolt before we started tracking.

Holy cow, he couldn't have placed that arrow in a better spot.
Awesome.

Nice work! Those crossbows sure have a speedy cast. Lots of memories, each time the deer steaks show up on the table!

Nice!!! I have watched a deer or two, do BT normally have ears like this guy?

Like two of them?

JK We do have a doe on the island with only one....

What aspect are you asking about?

lokidog · « **Reply #19 on:** October 16, 2016, 02:56:22 PM »

And tracking.

nwwanderer · « **Reply #20 on:** October 16, 2016, 05:09:52 PM »

Ears down, loose, not tracking surrounding inputs

nwwanderer · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2016, 05:14:11 PM »

Great job on the follow and find. Cabelas (Bass Pro?) should at least send a big gift card.

I thought the same, and have very little experience. He seemed to have trouble keeping his ears up when normally all you'd see is satellite ears.

We had one doe behind the house we called donkey doe because we never saw her ears up, but I don't think this guy was unusual. One thing to remember is that the deer here in general are not on pins and needles like on the mainland since we don't have any large predators besides us. And, even people and dogs don't seem to bother them all that much often times, especially when there are some tasty apples needing to be eaten.

However, who knows, there could be some genetic component to it.
