Was able to get out for a short hunt this evening. I have a few tree stands in a swamp Bottom. Two on great crossings . Each set for a different wind and one on a small ridge/island that is hot when acorns are dropping. The island stand has post oaks and a few small live oaks on it and the post oaks are dropping good. I killed a doe this week last year on them and decided to sit there this evening wind permitting.
I got on a stand a bit later than I like too but didn`t spook anything going in.While I was organizing my gear in the tree I heard squirrels getting fired up and in about 20 minutes an old doe comes walking through....
I got my Mohawk in my hand and got ready. She was feeding under a post oak where I didn`t have a shot because of a few limbs. she then turned slightly quartering away and was walking through a "gap headed to a small live oak.I hit anchor and zoomed in low mid rib and my mind said "right there" and the arrow was gone. The arrow went within an inch of where I was looking and the deer was on a hard run afterwards.....
OK RC -- PICS!
:goldtooth:
Maybe it is better as RCLamb
:campfire:
it was till early so I decided to sit till dark. Heard a deer go through towards my "lower" crossing stand but I did`nt see anything else. At dark I got down and walked to where the deer was standing at the shot.
I was shooting my Trusty Mohawk longbow and this evening I had a 2016 with a Simmons Interceptor on the end with a bleeder blade.Kinda funny I had 4 different hunting arrows in my quiver and all have different kinds of broadheads on them.Simmons,Woodsman, no mercy and a Snuffer.What can I say they all work...
At the shot..

And a couple more along the trail. Simmons and Snuffers make the best blood trails of any head I`ve ever used and I shoot less than 50lbs at 27. I could have taken 30 yards worth of pictures like this. 30 yards cause thats how far she ran..

Way to go RC!!!
Great reading before bedtime.
Congrats again!!

Nice shot...those Sharks are good medicine.
You can't beat those entrance holes. They are brutal and I can't see myself shooting anything else. When you get complete penetration with that bow setup and those size heads it doesn't get any better.
Great pics
