Title: Archery blacktail buck 2012
Post by: huntbow on December 24, 2012, 06:09:18 PM
I almost didn't go out Saturday evening because I only had 45 minutes to hunt but it was worth it.   I  had one foot on the treestand when I saw him movin through the brush. I finnished getting in the tree and then had the Awsome feeling of being in a treestand with a buck at 30 yards and my bow on the ground tied to a string.  Well, amazingly I pulled the bow all the way up with him  only looking at the bow spinning on the string a couple times. When he stomped the ground I was sure he caught my wind. With the wind swirling he was on high alert so I nocked up and drew back. At 20 yards and head on with a slight angle I put the arrow between his neck bone and shoulderblade. He took off and I went home.  Next morning I came back with my 16 month old,  brother and dad. We found the buck 50 yards away, my 85# bowtech took out 1 lung, the diaphram and threw some gut and came out the other side.

How come he has three antlers in the last picture?

The  third antler is a shed I found from him last year. His back  tine gets narrow then rounds to a point, the exact same from the year before.

Thanks, and the meat was good, I had some butterfly backstrap steaks the next day and getting the rest in pepperoni and breakfast sausage. Tastes better than plastic paper tag.  I found the shed prior to shooting him and since I knew the buck, I brought the shed with me the next day.
