This is not the deer I was after, but he was the second buck I was able to call in this past weekend.
Friday morning I rattled in a buck and managed to blow a 25 yard shot- just a smidge low. Saturday evening I heard deer in the corn and hit the grunt tube. This guy ran out of the corn to the edge of the woods. I gave another soft grunt and he charged right in. I had a steep angle and shot him high through one lung and down through the other and into the opposite shoulder.
With a high hit, the blood trail was sparse so I decided to back out and find him the next morning. When he charged in, I thought he was much bigger than he was. It was a great hunt and another wonderful traditional trophy.
My Lewis Hollow longbow did the trick once more!

That's a great buck brother! I had almost an identical hunt this year: rattled in, high in the near-side lung, and a little shooter's remorse on how big he was. Like I said in my Highlights post, Any deer with a stickbow is a trophy! Congrats! :thumbsup:
Very nice deer! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. Any deer killed with a trad bow is a trophy. I was just hoping to have a taxidermy bill this fall.
Friend- I am shooting the original prototype Lewis Hollow Archery 3 piece Longbow (Hope and Faith's oldest brother). Chris at LHA is a great friend and hunting buddy. I am lucky to call him a friend- I would be even if he didn't build such great bows. I believe that is the 7th deer I have killed with that bow.
The bow is 53@29 and I shoot 29" CE Heritage loaded with 100gr brass inserts and 125 gr Woodsman. I have had great success with this setup.
The area I was hunting was absolutely tore up with sign. There are rubs and scrapes everywhere. I have permission to hunt the very tip of a large wood plot that is surrounded by corn field. From the road, you wouldnt think much of the place, but it is a great spot.
I am really looking forward to filling some doe tags.
Thanks again,
Merf
Nice Buck! :thumbsup:

When he charged in, I thought he was much bigger than he was.
He may not be very big for you Ohio boys but that buck would probly talked about for a few years up here where I hunt. Congrats on a very nice buck.
