Title: Straight Down 8
Post by: Landshark160 on November 16, 2009, 07:41:00 PM
I had 2 bucks come in this morning, both 8's, and get right on top of me. The smaller buck must have winded me, and spooked a little bit. They were both ready to explode out of there. The smaller buck was looking in my direction, and I couldn't draw. I bided my time, and eventually the smaller buck started walking away. When his head went behind a tree, I drew, and shot the bigger buck straight down through the top of the back at 3 yards. I clipped his spine, but still got an exit wound down near the bottom of his chest. Pretty good for a 2" broadhead. He's not a trophy, but he's a good deer for this area. He's my biggest yet, and I'm proud to get him.

"He's my biggest yet, and I'm proud to get him."

Then he's a trophy.

Congratulations on a nice buck!

Cool video!  How come you didn't shoot him when you had a better angle at 8 yds?

LOL

I think more "SMALLISH" trophys are shot than the big ones that we all would like to have a crack at. Thats a nice buck! CONGRATS! Thanks for the video. Did I hear you say your NINTH deer of the season?

Agree with joe ashton....He is too, a trophy, and I will argue that point with anyone.  That's a beautiful deer.

PS...I love the way you tell the story, that was very well done.

Shot him with a TreeShark.  I don't know if you noticed, but you can actually see the broadhead during the slow motion scene.  I thought that was pretty cool.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice replies.  I appreciate it.

Chris,

Great video and nice looking buck.  He is great.

How did you video the hunt. Did you have the camera on a mounted tripod device or what?

Great clarity on the camera as well.  You can relive that hunt as many times as you want by watching that video.  That is cool.

Hey Chris, here's a picture of my setup.  I have a 6" hinge bolted to the front of my stand. It folds up for packing. The mount is just a standard tripod with the legs removed. I had a fab shop weld a piece of bar stock in the bottom of the tube, and it's drilled and tapped for the 1/4" carriage bolt. It ain't fancy, but it works.

I may have been cool before the shot, but afterwards I turned to jello.  Y'all should see the footage I edited out.  After the shot, I turned the camera around to talk about it, and started shaking so bad I had to turn it off and wait about 10 minutes.  Of course, I do the same thing on does.  :biglaugh:
