I was able to take a decent doe last Friday (21 Oct) with my new Javaman Falcon. I have private land to hunt but have been dealing with trespassers and such on it for the last few years. I thought I would give some public land a try, so my brother-in-law (hawk22) and I scouted some spots out this last spring.
I shot the doe at 6:43 p.m., with a 16mph NW wind. She was approximately 40 yards away, and somehow I was able to get a pass-through and take out both lungs. She made it about 100 yards. I need to give my brother-in-law a shout out too, he drove an hour away after working a 12 hour shift to help me take care of everything.
If anyone is wondering my arrow setup:
32" Easton Full Metal Jackets, 400 spine
75gr brass insert
125gr VPA 3 blade

Now you need to get back out to kill a buck
40 yards? I still need my binoculars at 40! You're a heck of a lot more confident then I am! Good hit in any case!
I honestly didn't realize it was so far away, I am not sure I would have taken that shot if I knew the distance. I just felt like I could hit her. Thanks!
Yeah Jake, I will probably get out all next weekend. Now is the time buddy!

Nice doe. Can anything be done about the trespassers? I would certainly discuss it with the landowner.

Jeff has put a lot of time in over the last few years learning to shoot. He can hold his own with the best of them.
