Title: Success with a Stalker Recurve
Post by: scbowhnter on October 24, 2010, 10:04:00 PM
While I may become the world record holder for "smallest whitetail buck ever taken with a Stalker recurve", I sure am pleased with this 6pt. Shot him tonight right behind my house from a Loc On that when I stand I can just see my garage door.

It's in a natural funnel between bedding areas that I helped a little by adding a small food plot. The downside is that it takes an odd wind to hunt it.

As deer are prone to do this time of year, he came from a direction I didn't expect. Walked right by the base of my tree without spooking (maybe he'd gotten used to smelling me:) walked out 5-yards and graciously hung a right turn where a grunt from me stopped him. Trail was the perfect kind-obvious and short.

Good deer, good deal. Where I hunt that is a trophy. Post a close up pic of your Stalker if you get a chance. Love looking at those Stalkers. That South guy, he's all right, isn't he?

As I told South, the moon, stars, planets and all else lined up this day. I would never take a shot at an animal this far but I think practicing at longer range makes me a better shooter. And it certainly helps my confidence.

Shot this group at 40 yards with my Stalker.

40 yards!  That's some mighty fine shooting!  The axis deer would be in trouble if I could shoot like that!  Good going CJ!
