I got off work this evening just a little early, and i did what all half sensible men would do. I grabbed my bow, and ran up a tree! On my way in i spooked a buck, but by the way he acted i knew he would be right back.
So i got up as quite as i could, and began the waithing game. I was surfing the gang on my phone when i heard a leaf crunch behind me, i slowly turn, to find the pleasant sight of a buck headed my direction.
He circled downwind, very cautiously, and this action put him at 9 yards broadside of a very excited bowhunter.
I cannot express to you how tore up i was. I have killed some very nice deer in my few years (with other weapons) but size dont matter when you have a stick in your hand. I was tore up from the floor up to say the least.
As he came to a stop, i hit full draw, burning a hole through his chest. I let the string slip and that pink rabbit fur (Thanks again Dan!) disapeared less than an inch from the hair i picked.
The buck mule kicked and tore out of there, only to make it 20 yards or so, then he commenced to ballhootin and rolling down the hill.
I was so excited i just about jumped out of the tree. Litterally my head was spinning and my hands were numb. I dont know why, ive killed many deer trad style, it was just coming out of a slump maybe? Either way, i felt like i was 12 again, im still grinning like a stuck oppossum as i type this.
Anyways, shot was perfect, double lung. i was shooting a PSE Heritage Falcon recurve i picked up in a trade with a ganger last week, the bow is around 53#@28 and i am shooting 2016 aluminums (bright ones i might add)tipped with a 125gr magnus 2blade.
I was particularly excited to see my arrow blow through the deer, as i just learned how to sharpen heads. Here is a hero shot with one proud Tradganger!
