My first deer with a recurve. How exciting is that?!!!
Mike & I moved my stand last week to a better location. This morning we were in our stands 1/2 hr. before light. We placed the scent pads from my son's deer that he got last week near an intersecting trail about 10 yards from my stand. About 7:30 AM out of the fog I see a large body deer coming my way. He headed directly for the scent pad. I had an angling away shot at about 15 yards. My shot was back further than I liked, but I caught the liver and right lung.
We recovered the deer within 70 yards. The deer was a large buck but both antlers were broken off at the base. Very unusual, never seen anything like it. We first thought he had been hit by a car but there were no signs of damage to his body anywhere. We believe he lost his antlers in a fight with another big buck. ( our best guess )
It sure has been a long wait to get my first deer with a recurve! And it sure feels good!
