Title: Late season doe killed with old browning Wasp I almost sold on here
Post by: moose eye levi on January 22, 2011, 10:23:00 PM

Their I was it was 9 degrees out,I had a quiver full of freshly sharpened Magnus I's on some Twig poplar shafts that made up. My old Browning wasp at my hand, I never hunted much with it and almost sold it but I decided to keep it just to have and shoot it was the first trad bow I ever got and was newly determined to gwt a deer with it. Started out by getting winded by a doe who came in where they never come in directly to the NE of me. I thought yeah great way to start this one out well about an hour later I saw 2 deer coming then 3 then 5 then I all of a sudden had 2 button bucks and 8 does at 12yds. Their were to many eyes I couldent draw finally I had one singled out the closest she was alone and I wouldent risk hitting another deer on the shot.Well as another doe was making her way in evry head turned that direction (directly away from me to the north) and I picked a spot drew and released "The poplar shaft flew as if it had eyes" pinringed her diden't go 50yds. had to track both halves with the Magnus I. My buddy Morgan Anderson and I cut a meat pole, hauled her out of their, and gutted her a little ways from the stand. Glad I diden't sell that one now.

Nice bow, and nice deer, Levi! Very classy! Congratulations! But, what's with your signature? Neck shots are not recommended when bowhunting, and are even risky with a rifle.

Ben Kleinig, It's something I say JOKINGLY to my gun huntin buddies because I've only shot 2 deer with a gun when I was 10 and 12 and I shot them both in the neck and they dropped on the spot but I don't gun hunt much at all unless on a deer drive for a younger buddy of mine or something.

Thanks to all, and to all in advance!

I have one Wasp too. It was my first "real" bow. Dad got it for me for Xmas. I killed my first deer with it. I've been thinking of taking it out hunting again. It is in mint condition.

Levi, congrats on the deer. Just so every one knows it was 9 degrees with a steady 10mph breeze yesterday. I did not even want to go out and bring fire wood in...

Great shot on a great doe! Way to go in braving the weather and hanging in there after the first deer winding you. :thumbsup: Nice story, short and sweet.

I have a Browning Wasp too. I have it set up for bowfishing and it rocks. Very hard hitting bows. Glad you didn't sell it!

Was out your way looking for a deer just like that one, but had to come back home. AEP site was all closed up for the season I suppose. I was looking forward to some quiet hunting in SE Ohio, but it didn't work out. I might be headed out that way for the last weekend of season though.

Take care, all is well here.

I'd love to have one of those old Brownings. Never shot one, but from their appearance they are better made than a bear from that era. Way to go Man!

Thanks again all.
