Title: blacktail with a recurve 630am Pic and story added.
Post by: blacktailcody on September 01, 2013, 10:44:05 AM: My brother and I drove to a privately owned clear-cut that we have access to around 6:20. We started walking down a road that runs down the edge of the property. We walked by a bowl where I had watched a 2x2 in velvet playing with a doe in June. About 40 yards down the road past the bowl I see a deer in salal halfway up its chest about 20 yards away. Its the same 2x2 I had seen earlier. He slowly steps out and I come to full draw only to realize my gopro not on. :bash:I gently let back and while I turn on my camera the buck trots about 30 yards out of view behind a blackberry bush. I walked down the road to the other side of the patch while my brother started after the buck. About 20 seconds later the 2x2 trots through the high grass towards my only shooting lane I come to full draw stop the buck with a bleat and then I shoot. 55lbs of re-curve power push my lighted nock into the deers vitals. I watch as the deer runs 138 yards through High grass, then he starts to walk slowly, then all of a sudden I see his tail flash and he topples over. I was ecstatic, I figured he was far enough away that I could look for my arrow and blood at the point of impact. I got there and was horrified, no blood, no arrow. then all of a sudden I stumble on a 2"x1" chunk of lung. We waited 15 minutes and started following the bloodless trail by memory. We had gone 115 yards and the floodgates opened there was blood everywhere. It didn't take long before we were standing over the fork-horn. We took some pictures loaded him up and drove home.

Thanks for reading. Hoping to fill my bros tag tonight. Will post if he does. Feel free to ask questions if theres a gap in the story.

Post by: Wose on September 01, 2013, 04:19:50 PM: Nicely done man. Short of hunting with a spear, which I think isn't legal, you chose the most difficult way to do it. That's really something to be proud of.

No kidding! Its awesome!
I am tempted to break out the freakcurve and practice up to try and fill my 2nd doe tag with it late season.
Way to go! I have mega respect for guys who go at it without the training wheeelz.
