i finally got my first buck with a bow
« on: September 07, 2009, 10:34:43 AM »
This is my forth year hunting with a bow and have harvested a doe every season.  This year it finally paid off i got my first buck.  He was no where near a monster but it works for me.  A velvet spike.  spikes are about 6 in.  shot was 40 yards. he ran 140 yards then dropped. was a  good day after getting soaked from the morning rain

 Congrats ...

Any Capitol buck with a bow is a feat...the bucks round here are vampires and only come out at night  :P

I've lived next to this forest for going on 4 years and have seen a grand total of maybe 4 bucks I see lots of does, lots of big does, I never see bucks.
