Last day Blacktail. First deer ever...
« on: January 01, 2010, 11:02:16 AM »
So I got my first deer ever the last morning of 2009.  He is a pretty good buck for Whidbey Island.  I was absolutely thrilled. 

Got him with my Bowtech at 15 yards broadside.  The arrow went right through the heart and he was down 20 yards away.  An awesome way to end the 00's.





The back two points were broken off and the close one in this shot looked like it would have been a nice point.

Bucklucky, I actually screwed up the cape pretty bad, so I am gonna have to go with just an antler mount.

My little guy loved it!  After I found it I went and got him and we tracked the blood trail again.  He was excited to tell me "more blood on this fern Dad."  Awesome.
