Title: A Good Day Afield
Post by: Mike Shaw on October 04, 2011, 07:15:00 PM
5:30 AM found Sue and I hunting our favorite woodlot. Around deer thirty when you can just make out movement on the forest floor I see a dark silhouette and it appears to be a deer. The deer is picking It's way along the Oak ridge I'm sitting on. Now if this deer stays on this course he will walk right under me. As daylight approaches I see a glimpse of antlers through the brush. Sure enough a legal buck and we are about to meet up close and personal. At 8 yards he stops and checks the wind standing broadside and a little quartering away. I ever so slowly reach for my trusty Super Necedah and still in the sitting position slowly draw and pick a small spot behind his shoulder. When I felt my clicker go and dropped the string it was like slow motion as I watched my arrow disappear at the very spot I was looking. A complete pass thru and got both lungs. The deer dropped in less than 25 yards. Nothing like a hair shaving sharp Bear Razorhead. Now all the work starts ... but it's all good. Sue will be back at it this week to fill her tag.

All these good folks in PA taking and showing such nice deer taken! Excellent!!!  :)

Here I thought all the deer were shot out of PA to hear tell...   :rolleyes:  

Excellent job all around.  Very happy for you. Looks like I'm deferring much hunting till later season this year due to some family things...but "besser spat als nie".   :)
