Title: Finanly broke the ice!!
Post by: Jayb on January 01, 2013, 10:28:00 AM
Spent a long weekend at the deer lease and 1st morning I had 9 does walk by my blind.  I had to wait for a clear shot with all of them.  Starred at a spot, anchored, and good follow thru like I've done a thousand times.  Even at 9 yards she jumped the string and almost turned 180 but still a quartering away angle the arrow went into the boiler room.  She only went 50 yards!  
My first Trad animal and 1st deer in 6 years!  I also got a huge squirrel later on- nice shot picking it off the side of the tree.

Thanks to the TG for all the help in my 3 yr Trad journey.  The Baronett blind is great and they couldn't see me at 5-10 yards away.  Great arrows from Snag-Wilderness arrows!  Just wish I finished the hat trick with a hog but no luck.

Our deer weigh much more and simply can't move out like your TX deer can. Been there twice to hunt and shot a doe and I aimed at her elbows and when the arrow got there it was a center punch 10. Man those deer are fast.

Congrats, that is quite an accomplishment killing one of those speed demons.
