Man I love this time of year! Last Saturday was our opener and I was fortunate to harvest an awesome deer!
-
I recently purchased a Bear Take down B Riser, with a set of # 2 limbs that Brandon Stahl made me over at Rose Oak Creations. Bow is super smooth and quiet. And it is a tack driver!

Saturday it was starting to cool off here a bit and it was a perfect wind to hunt a new stand I put up back in July. I did not put out any cameras this year so I was not sure what was around. Little did I know I had a BIG surprise coming!
Check out this view:

I hung this stand in a giant cedar tree. Every cedar I have ever hunted out of ended up being a great spot. They are just hard to come by. Its hard to find one that is in the right spot and has the ability to hold a lock on stand. Also I think the aroma from a cedar tree does a lot to cover your scent. This one will also provide plenty of cover once the leaves are off the trees.

Good looking set up. What was the deer?

One More picture of the trail I was hunting.

Well about 7 o'clock, something i caught some movement coming down the trail. It was a deer..... then another.....then another.... then another.... and one more. I could tell that they were all bucks! All were walking in a single file line headed right for me!

I could not believe what I was seeing. 5 bucks 3 were 8 pointers. The last one was the biggest. He came in and turned perfectly broadside. I drew back and the arrow went exactly where I was looking. I knew it was a good hit. I saw the buck run about 100 yards and stop. The next thing I know he twitched his tail a few times and fell over. I was so shook up over what had just happened it took me about 45 minutes before I could climb down.

I wont drag it out any more...here are a few pictures
