Hi, I'm new to posting on tradgang, so sorry if I do anything wrong. I have been deer hunting with traditional equipment since Ohio's 2011-2012 deer season. Last season had a lot of downs but I had learned a lot. But, the 2012-2013 deer season was certainly my best season yet. I like to film my hunts and make videos. I didn't take a single deer in 2011-12 but 2012-13 was different. It was October 28th. The rut was just starting to heat up. I decided to hunt with my River Raisin Recurve (52#) and put out a couple scent wicks. I planned on the deer coming to me from the South.. but I was wrong. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement to my West. Antlers. Not big, but big enough for me. He had his head down the whole time and my camera was rollin'. He was mid-step at 7 yards. I drew back that cedar shaft, tipped with a 125 grain Zwickey Eskimo, and let it fly. It went more to the left than where I had aimed, but it did its job. The small 8 pt. ran 37 yards, stopped on the edge of the uncut corn and dropped. This was my first traditional kill, and my biggest buck. This was the most exciting and accomplishing feeling I have ever had. I don't know if I am allowed to post the link to my video of my harvest, but if i am, I will post it. Hopefully the link to the picture works also. Thanks!
