Title: First Trad Deer - 8 Point in OK
Post by: SoonerBowhunter on October 03, 2012, 04:58:00 PM
Shot my first trad deer ever Monday morning. Below is the link to a video I put together of the shot from a camera I had set up on a tripod in the blind.

First buck was at about 14 yards and heard my arrow sliding on the rest as I drew back. I shouldn't have shot when I saw him tense up. I lost concentration and shot way over him. Took a little while for the bucks to come back. They stared at the blind for over 10 minutes from the trees before coming out and trying to circle it to get a whiff.

Second buck walks within 5 yards to give me a shot. Calmed down just long enough to get a shot. Hit him a little high but it was a good clean double lung hit. Watched him go down within 20 seconds. I've never been that close to a deer. I also took along a buddy of mine to sit in the blind that has never deer hunted before. He ate it up.

No shame in a miss but made for a roller coaster ride. Sick one minute and elated the next.

Nothing fancy. Used a Samick Sage 45# @ 28" and a 175gr Woodsman 3 blade.

Great job!  What a beautiful buck!  Love the chocolate antlers! Nothing wrong with a miss either. It's hard to believe it when it happens but that is actually the beauty of hunting with traditional gear. The highs cannot exist without the lows. Way to go!
