My season was a quick 5 hours this year, I hunted a farm I knew had a ton of deer on and some really big bucks to boot! personally I am all about meat over horns and My brother was bowhunting for the first time and I wanted him to have a chance at one of the huge blackies that call this sweet spot home, so it was around 11am that this guy came in to eat some yummy apples, he gave me a 35.5 yrd broadside shot and my hoyt did the rest, he went 23yrds after the shot and was dead in less thenm 5 seconds... the pic does not do him justice, he was 14 wide and 13 tall.. and had a good body for a 2yo, also the best meat out of any animal I have ever taken with a bow, deer, elk or otherwise.. sadly we had chances at some of the bigger 3x3 and 4x4's but everytime does were in the way and it did not happen, but my bro did end up taking a nice spike at 30yrds.......(http://)

very nice congrats
-
thanks hes not my biggest by any means but he sure has ate good so far and he was a gorgeous deer, that farm is awesome, it has bucks over 150in for sure... real monsters.. next season his dad is getting it
-
any deer with a bow is a great deer :tup:
-
I agree as well..... Ive been lucky to harvest as many as I have so far
-
Congrats. It sounds like you guys have a good honey hole. I hope to arrow a blacktail in the late season.
-
nice going paul
-
nicely done. Not too many blacktails posted by archers yet. I suppose most of us are waiting for late season.
-
ya this little honey hole is a good one, its in a semi residentail rural area... only 15 acres.. but tons of deer on it and around it..... and HUGE BUCKS.. but this guy worked for me... not as big as most of them.. but he sure tastes good! speaking of late season I need a late elk this year...
-
He's a nice deer. Love to see some other pics of taken deer or live bucks from that area!! I recently posted some from my area (trailcam pics), titled "blacktails on the move".
-
Ya I will try to get pics, the house across the street from this farm has MONSTER bucks and the genes are crazy, its a son of a guy who owned a excavcating business down this way and the house is HUGE and it is all fenced in with a private security key pad and all that.... the deer go back and forth from my farm and the apple trees to his apple trees, one night I counted 15 deer and 5 P&Y bucks in his yard, the smallest was a 4x4 id say 18 wide and 24 tall the biggest was a massive 6x6 that had to be 25 wide and at least that tall.. and well over 275lbs.... all pure blacktails..... my buck was a 2 yo thats how good the genes are........
-
Well done, congrats

:cue:
-
very nice!!! Congrats on a nice buck!
-
All animals taken with a bow are trophy's in my book. The hoyt is a killer!!!!!! I am a trycon myself. I would not hunt with anything else.
-
Thank you guys, im not saying hes a monster by any means but he was bigger then he looks in the pic... and I love my trykon xl.. it is a great shooting bow, and most people said it was unforgiving but i dont think so at all..... I shot my first perfect vegas round indoors with it, its kind of hard to shoot 30 straight shots inside a quarter at 20yrds with a unforgiving bow! but Im buying the newest badest hoyt for 09 and giving my brother the trykon........
