Title: First buck with bow
Post by: bowman on September 21, 2008, 08:15:16 PM: Here's my first archery buck that I shot near Winthrop Saturday evening. My dad and I made three trips over there and I finally connected. There seems to be far less deer this year and we didn't see many bucks at all. I really wanted a buck and wasn't going to shoot a doe.

We hiked and hunted all around the Twisp area. Actually, we saw more bear sign than deer. On Saturday afternoon I thought I would try to get permission to hunt a small property we had seen some does in before. The owner said I could hunt but not to shoot the does. Well, I didn't want a doe. Anyway, I came upon this guy and made a 40 yard shot through both shoulders. He only went about 20 yards and piled up. :IBCOOL:

nice deer btw. i wish my first and only archery kill would have been a buck. but i guess thats why i keep switching back and forth from modern firearm to archery.
