Title: Bisch's Buck (and more)
Post by: on December 31, 2010, 12:50:00 AM

Well, I got to go hunting for a few days this week and faired pretty well. The first afternoon I had a nice buck come in real early, only to get run off by a ranch rat (javelina). That was a fatal mistake by the ranch rat! Here is the pic:

After I shot the javi, I waited and only saw one little nubbin' buck for the rest of the afternoon. Then at about 5:45pm I catch some movement under me and there he is; the nice 9 point that the javi had run off earlier. He walked right into my hand thrown corn like it was scripted, and stopped quarterewd away at about 10yds. I let another arrow go and about 100yrds later, here is what I found:

The next day was uneventfuland no shots were taken. On the third afternoon I broke out my #2 longbow which is a twin of my go-to bow. I had not taken any animals with this bow and was eager to get her christened. Right before dark, a pack of pigs came into the feeder. There were about 20 pigs and it was real hard to tell where one pig ended and the next one began. I thought I was not going to get a shot before it got too dark when one of the little one busts out of the pack right in front of me at about 9yds. I let the arrow fly and now my #2 longbow is experienced in the field. Here is a few pics of the little boar:

It was pretty good way to end the year and I can't wait to see what 2011 brings!

Wow!  You're on a roll!  Great shooting on three nice animals.  I think your back-up bow fits the bill.  Congratulations!

GREAT way to end the year!

Anyone notice the first pic... If you look at the top arrow in the quiver it looks like it's fletched at both ends.

Bisch, you workin' on something new there?

Optical illusion - The one near the quiver hood has a blunt on it and will not fit in the quiver like a regular one.

Thanks for all the kudos guys.

Congrats buddy!!

 It was great to meet you at Solana, wish we could have talked a lot more. But as you know, we had some hogs to track. When we got back, you were gone.

Hopefully next time I come down we can get together again bud    :pray:
