I was lucky enough to make it out to our property this weekend with my Dad and my good buddy Brad who just recently started bowhunting with a recurve. Saturday was EXTREMELY eventful. I saw 15 deer from my stand (7 in the morning, 8 in the evening). In the morning a doe came trotting in at 20 yards and I shot over her back :banghead: Luckily, neither of them saw us and the first and smaller buck gave me the better shot, and Im not one to pass up a good shot. I was hoping Brad would take the shot but he froze up pretty bad so the next thing I know I see my arrow in the deer and it sprang off. I ended up hitting a little far back taking out the liver and one lung and it only ran around 100 yards.

This is where the buck was when I shot him.
Field dressed he was 97 pounds (theres a crazy amount of acorns on the ground). I took him with a Bighorn recurve 65@30 and a home-made cedar arrow tipped with a Magnus I 160 grain. He left a great blood trail all the way to him.
Well done!! You've got some good eating there.
Sweet success there man, congrats.

Great shooting , congrats !
You know, I can't believe I forgot to post this before but I have to give thanks to my Dad (Always89) and Mom. I wouldn't have my love of the outdoors if it weren't for my Dad and I couldn't imagine life without it. He actually gave up his hunting early to help me blood trail the deer and be with me when I found it. And my Mom supports our habbit and puts up with us skipping chores to hunt. I couldn't appreciate them more.
Goodness, you're all grown up! Congrats, bud! Tell your Dad I said hello.
Its nice to hear from you Mr. Alex and he sais Hello back. Hows your season going?
