Well some of you know that I'm in the K.C. Urban hunt, and if you read Missouri Hunt Stories 2008 thread I lost a BIG one last saturday morning. Well this morning at 8:15 had 5 does come down the trail to me. I checked to see if a buck was following, but didn't notice any so I said i'd try one of the does. I let the first three go by and was gonna take the fourth. She went behind a tree and drew back, but the fifth doe spotted me and bolted. :knothead: They all looked around and the first deer saw me letting down to half draw. I had to hold it for like 20 seconds before she looked away. I was shaking bad from holding. When I let down I took a few deep breaths and the deer I wanted started to go back up the trail the way they had come. I drew back again picked my spot and let loose. I couldn't tell if I hit her and heard no hit. I just sat down and knocked another arrow. I was going to wait and get down about 9:00. Twenty minutes later another doe comes down the same trail. I thought this time I'm gonna shoot sitting down, never done that in a treestand before. She caught me moving my left leg under me, but kept going down the trail. When she got to the same spot, I drew picked a spot and hit her a little high and caught the fourth rib from the back. She jumped and ran up hill and stopped 25 yards from impact and wobbled. She then went a couple more steps and did a back flip. Down for the count.
Got down 10min. later and found both arrows. First arrow was inline and 6 inches above the second arrow with no blood or anything. Complete miss. Second arrow covered in blood.
Twenty yard shot. Chekmate H2 50#@30" Goldtip 35-55 100gr. insert and 125gr. Magnus stinger 4-blade.

Thanks everyone. Yeah Ben, it was a long drag. Fortunately, a guy in the parking lot had a deer cart, and it was a long way to the truck. Mine has a broken wheel that I need to fix.

Great job Brian.
Those does are starting to get a little jumpy by now. I had three of them moving through early this AM and they didn't stand still for any length of time.
Great to hear that hunting that place paid off.

:thumbsup: congratulation buddy! How many does do you have to take to help insure that you get picked next year?
-
Tom, they said you had to take 3 does. I don't think I want to take that many, unless somebody wants them.
-
Share the Harvest will take them. I think Paradise locker in Trimble is participating in this program. I think the hunter has to pay half the processing fee.
