2010 Whidbey Christmas Buck
« on: December 25, 2010, 10:52:07 PM »
Not much to tell.  He's the one I've been after and tonight he decided to make a mistake right at last light. Arrow went right through the heart and a lung. Ran about 20 yards and down he went. Meat in the freezer.  The wife wasn't overly happy that I went hunting but I guess it was worth it. I had some camera malfunctions so this is all I have for now. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow.  He's not as big as last years but he's a nice island 3x4.  Thank you Santa!!!!

That is a nice BT! and an even better island deer! Congratulations and merry Christmas!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Here's some more pics of him hanging.  Wish I could have gotten some out in the woods but these will have to do.

Nice deer!  So why is Whidbey not a real Island?

I took the cape to the local taxidermist.  He needed one for a buck that a special needs kid shot. We found bird shot in his face.  REALLY?  :stup:
