Title: Pac-a - wallop doe
Post by: Friends call me Pac on October 14, 2012, 02:08:00 PM
I got this doe last week with a bow that I made.  My friend Caleb helped me build this laminated longbow.  Never tried that before and without Caleb's help I might still be building it today.  After it was finished I had to come up with a name and since my nickname is Pac I thought pac-a wallop was catchy.

I hunted with this bow all last season but never got the first shot.  Last week I was up in my stand on public ground.  She came by broadside at around 15 yards and was munching on acorns.  When her head went behind a tree I drew and waited for her ribs to come into view on the other side of the tree.

She went about 70 yards and I heard her fall.  My first deer with my own bow was on the ground.She is also the first deer I have shot with a wooden arrow that I have built.  What a feeling.

I was in my climber not on the ground.  My bottom limb hit my stand and caused my hit to go right a bit.  I got the liver and she was down quickly, maybe no more than 45 seconds.  I found my feathered end of my arrow but could not find the Ace broadhead.  I looked for two days but no luck.
