I just though I would share a pic of my 2009 mule deer.I shot him on the morning of September 9th.I had a couple of real close incounters previously with other deer before getting this fellow.He was bedded in a oat field and I had to make a 75 yard stock to get into bow range.A good strong wind is a real help when hunting in open country and that morning it was.I got about 20 yards from him then got ready for the shot,I had to throw a stone to the other side of him to make him stand and to draw his attention away from me.When he stood up I drew and released.I made a good shot and he ran only 60 yards before going down.For this hunt I used homemade bow I just built,its 58" and draws 53#@ 28".I also used sitka spruce shafts with 160g stos broadheads.I hope you all enjoy the story and pic.Bye for now ,Dell.
