Title: THE DROUGHT IS OVER!!!!!!
Post by: Bob B. on November 07, 2010, 12:07:00 AM
Ya-Hoo!!  I hawked one myself tonight!  I will try to send pics on Monday if I ever figure it out.  

Used my Mohawk I bought from Mudd. I have some wood arrows that fly great but are heavy, 650 grain total weight, 145 left bevel concords with 75 grian woody weights.  54 pounds at 30 inch draw and the arrow (at 30 yards) zipped through like she was not even there.  I hunt from the ground with no blind, just try to blend in, hunt slow, sit a while etc.  I saw her comming about 90 yards away.  I got into position, found my shooting lanes, she would have been right about 20 yards but after investigating a scrape, she started to quarter away from me.  I had an instant to decide, I took the shot - 30 yards.  I got lucky, she turned just as the arrow got there and hit her behind her diaphram.  I got liver, no guts ( thanks the Lord! ).  She never knew she was hit.  She jumped, looked around, walked back about 60 yards and then laid down.  I watched her for about 45 minutes and she put her head down for keeps.  She is a nice doe and I am thrilled. The bow is so quiet even on a still evening she never heard it.  I just gotta cool it with the longer shots.

Bob.

Not that you want long shots to be the norm, but wasn't it cool watchin' the arrow in flight?
Congrats.

A big shout out to Mudd for selling the bow to me and for posting the pics.  Thanks Brother!!    :thumbsup:   It was pretty cool watching her lay down in sight.  Not too crazy about the shot placement.  At least the broad heads were crazy sharp and she bled out ... completely!  When I opened her up she was awash in blood.  I had to carry her on my shoulders all the way home due to the extreme steepness of the ridge.  My shirt was fine and the back of my truck had ZERO blood in it after registration  She bleed out completely right there in her bed.  I am real glad I had those concords.

Thanks for all the kind replies.

Bob.
