Title: Thunderchild strikes again
Post by: centaur on October 15, 2011, 12:17:00 PM
Set up a stand last night in a heavily used area. Although we thought it was well concealed, it didn't take long for two does to bust me at first light, so when the next doe came in, I sloowwllyy stood up, and even then, she noticed the movement, but stuck around a few seconds too many. Then, the bottom limb of my bow whacked the floor of the stand on the shot, so instead of a perfect double lung, I watched as the arrow passed through in the hams, but the spurting blood told me that I luckily had caught the femoral artery. A wild run ended in less than 100 yards. Now I can concentrate on a nice buck!

I hope your TC bottom limb is ok, scary when something like that happens.

"Feels good to take the elk frustration out on other critters"

I'm already plotting my revenge on elk for the 2012 season. I'm bound to find a dumb one sometime.
