Title: Doe Down 10-13
Post by: rolltidehunter on October 14, 2013, 12:48:00 AM
I shot this doe about 5:30 this evening. I have been waiting on a North wind to hunt this spot. I got a NE wind today so I slipped in there. this spot is a great afternoon hunt. the deer transition from a large pine plantation through a section of hardwoods  making their way to a large food plot. it is a 7-8 acre wheat field. early in the year the deer make it to the wheat field right at dark so I slip up in the hardwoods to intercept them during daylight hours. the acorns here have really started falling,  I can pattern them really well in this section of the woods. I have shot several deer off this ridge. i shot her at about 15 yards. i hit her a little forward in the left front shoulder. my arrow passed through both shoulders. she ran about 75 yards

That arrow is definitely using up all of the energy your bow stores...and then obviously transfers it to the target!

Great job!

My bow is 53lbs @ 26 I draw a true 26

Arrow is a carbon express heritage 250 cut to 27 with a 100gr brass insert. zwicky Eskimo glued to a brass insert. I believe it's a 125 grain BH and 75 grain adapter. BH and adapter is 200. Also I have a 1 inch aluminum footing at the business end
