Earl Jeff:

Congratulations! Nothing like the intimacy of shooting them from the ground. Even sweeter with a Big River. I shot a buck November 3rd from a makeshift ground blind. I know what you are feeling right now. Great accomplishment.

Well Kelly Not much of a story to tell. I went into a area that I know usually holds deer. I found several fresh scrapes and rubs. So I decided to give it a shot. I found a fairly concealed spot to set up. (On the ground). Then after a long long 15 minutes wait I heard the leaves walking. CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH ETC.  A look to my left revealed a buck walking straight at me. 40 35 30 25 20. @ a distance of 19 yds he turned broadside and looked right at me. I decided it now or never. I was already at half draw and focused on that little spot behind his front leg. I pulled my 61# Big River longbow till I heard the familiar sound of my clicker I  sent the Muzzy Phantom tipped Easton ACC on it's way. I did not see the shot but heard the thud of the arrow. I watched the buck run back out the mountain about 60yds and go head over heels and make a loud growl. First time I heard that from a Whitetail. Needless to say it was a easy recovery. (Heart Shot) I still gave it 30 minutes to make sure. I called my brother to tell him the news and to keep my mind from wandereing. Well I hope that story will do and sorry for the Grammar. Take Care and God Bless.
