VERY NICE!!!      

Congrats! I wish I could see 10 deer a season in Louisiana. Poor hunting around my area.

Excellent!!!

Congrats!
Those battle axes sure make hole      

Congrats....I haven't even been out deer hunting 10 times this season....kids got so much going on....but its fun ready stories like this.  

Not sure if its for better or worse though.

  I gotta say Chris hunts hard for his critters and I enjoy the time we spend afield together.He is without a doubt the best shot with a Trad bow I`ve ever seen.Congrats on # 10.RC

I do have to give alot of credit to "Lucky" Carter and Warren Womack.  I've learned a great deal from them both over the last few years, and they've certainly influenced the way I hunt.

The area around here has a fairly low deer density, estimated at <15 per sq. mile.  Like RC said, I've hunted hard, and that's been the key.  Here's some of my season stats to this point.

So far I've made 63 hunts for deer.  That's 63 individual climbs where I've spent at least one hour on stand.  I usually average about 3 hours per sit, so that's roughly 180+ hours up a tree.  In all that time, I've seen exactly 63 deer.  Of those 63, I've had shots at 11 of them, and managed to connect on all but one.

I'm just blessed to be able to hunt a good bit, and fortunate to have capitalized on most of my opportunities.

I don't know RC, but I have had the great pleasure of becoming Mr. Warren's friend in recent years and I see a lot of him in you.  If you talk to him, ask him about the RUGER CURSE on his bow!

15 deer per square mile is low density?             Young man , you have no idea what low density is!! You are lucky to hunt where you do! I'm glad your having a good season.

I have not been able to hunt nearly as much as normal this year due to my work schedule...BUT threads like theses help ease my pain!

Thanks for posting.

I simply MUST get some of those broadheads!

Yes sir, I agree.  We have pigs too!  

Yeap love threads like this! Thanks for posting.

congrats!!!

Way to go Chris, awesome season brother!            

I'd like to "talk" to you a bit about using the Woodpecker system. I'm priveledged to have been given one of Chris Surtees' drill and bolts. I plan on using them quite a bit in the years to come.

I know "how" to use it, but I'd like to hear about how to use it "well"    

Pics are awsome! those are lovely shades of red perhaps you could fashion a Christmas card and send it to a P.E.T.A. spokesman and tellem merry Christmas from the Gang.Not! Congrats on a fine season.

I would say that the shot was in the perfect place.  Anytime you can hit them just above the "elbow" on a standing broadside deer you center the vitals and have a dead deer in seconds.  Congrats.

Once again congratulations!!  What a great season.  You have earned the great year as the payoff to all your homework!!
