Title: took a walk
Post by: trapperDave on March 07, 2009, 03:56:00 PM
Took my bitch for a ride to the woods to fling some arrows

didnt take long to spot an elusive trophy BUCKet.Put a good stalk on it, got a clear shootin lane and loosed an arrow..

SCORE!!!  just a tad right of the spot I was aiming at.

Note to self. When hunting BUCKets,,,aim low to prevent overpenetration. Its a little hard on the fletches     (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0102.jpg)

Trekking thru the woods, I found a good log to take a break on,,,and snap a couple bow shots  (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0104.jpg)

Fiddled with the timer (and after several close up shot of my belly) finally got one of those "Hows my form" pics      (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0108.jpg)

A little farther into our adventure...We spotted a bedded blue belly creek hugger. I was able to get off a shot undetected,,,but missed a little right    (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0114.jpg)

Or did I???

just goes to show you should always follow up on your shots.  Sometimes those misses arent misses at all.

Cool! I mean warm, looks like it warmed up in your neck of the woods, here it was a stifling 60, man it felt HOT. Thanks for the pics.
