Title: Some luck + some experience=? (follow up pics p.2)
Post by: JoeM on October 28, 2011, 07:53:00 PM

Well I owe this one to some good equipment (heavy arrows) and some experience.
Arrived at my spot this morning and decided to take in the climber. I already had a stand in this piece, but, the wind couldn't make up its mind. So I decided to head for a ridge where hopefully it would be a little more consistent.
A slow morning so at 8:20 I hit the grunt tube and a few minutes later I hear a deer approaching. Its a doe coming in at a trot I look behind her for a trailer but she's alone. Decide to take her but she's not gonna stop on her own so I let out a low Maaa. She locks up and stares in my direction (real tense). I'm at full draw.
Last season I had an 8 point out of this same tree duck me when I stopped him. Seeing this doe is tense I pick the lowest hair I can see on her side. She tried to limbo but I caught her in the spine, had to finish her with a follow up shot. Not my best shot but my equipment did its job. 60# Striker 644 grain arrow with two blade Zwickey 12yd shot

Zwickey held up great

I like this pic with the tree stand in the background

Great job! It's very hard to hit an alert deer. Resharpen that Zwickey and use it again. They are truly great broadheads and have stood the test of time.

Good job, congrats. I have sworn off stopping deer w/noise for that very reason.

Early Primos vids were good about showing in slo mo how deer drop at the bow shot! Amazing how far them stinkers can drop to push off and fly outa there!

Friend in TX told me their deer are so wired, he holds 6" below their belly and they drop right in! :scared: That's wired!

I did one un-alert deer but she was close...really close, and she still dropped and it caught just UNDER the spine, but severed that main artery under the spine and she took 3 hops and stood there a second and fell over dead!

Great job! Neat to have enough ground to choose stand sites like that in a fickle breeze.

Can't wait for the buck shots you'll share soon!

That is pretty cool Souvenir. You make soup to get all the meat off? :)

Li'l extra pepper and garlic will cover that metalic taste I'm sure! :)

Dang but your set up surely did do the job...

I had to laugh going back and re-reading one comment about your hero pic where the guy said about your stand "not being very high off the ground!: :D We have some great wits here on Gang!

There's a thread on the new Zwickey website soon to come. Maybe a good photo for their website?????

Congrats,great pics.I think most of us have spined a deer a time or two.Kinda makes me feel that I made a bad shot,but when they start droping and rolling a spine shot works every time.I hunt east Tx deer that are always ready to blow up so I always shoot bottom line.I have had a few stand there and not move at all, end up shooting right under them.
