Everything came together and my first deer with the recurve is down! With four does below me I finally was able to draw and release a beeman ICS hunter carbon arrow tipped with a Muzzy Phantom 100 grn broad head! Talk about sweeeeeet! ;D
Zona Take Down Recurve
58"'amo, 48#@26"
The Whole Story with actual trailcam pics as it happened!
I put out a little feed and set my trailcam on it. A few days later I checked the cam and they were on it the next day! No good tree for a stand so I climbed a hackberry tree.

At first light I saw the cam flash. Looked down at the feed and there was a doe.

While waiting for a broadside shot a spike came in and the doe ran off.
I slung one right over his back! lol
A little later with my arrow still sticking up by the feed, this bunch came in.

It took forever for me to get in position to shoot, with all them eyes! Remember I'm standing on this branch! lol They kept looking up at me!

Finally everything was right and I let one fly hitting her high in the spine and she went straight down! I was pumped up!

No Curt. As you can see there were plenty. I had put out some rice bran a few days earlier. That's what she was eating.

That's an awesome picture sequence. Congratulations!!
You any relation to the Flying Wallenda's??? How in the world did you keep your balance on that limb while drawing and shooting????
Cool pics for sure. Way to get one.
That's old school - standing on a branch - reminds me of pre tree stand days. Great pictures. Especially like the sniffing the arrow and looking up at you pics. Fine big doe for the freezer and congrats on your first trad deer!
:wavey:
congrats!! Standing on a branch is real "old school".
My friends say I'm part squirrel lol
Before they came out with treestands, that is how I did it!
Awesome stuff right there!! that's how I killed my first bow buck; wrapped my legs around the limb of a cherry tree and hung out over because he got behind the tree and I'm impatient. ;)
Good shooting and nice deer!! Congrats brother!!
Ken
