There we go, I knew sooner or later something was gonna get itself killed. So what was wrong with your bow???

The problem could have been Lucky Charms didn't have a heart.      

Now I wasn't going to come up with some sort of list of excuses.....

But that right there is the best one that anyone could ever come up with!!!

I saw the arrow enter the heart, and she entered the pond's wood line for two bound then turned right for 4 more bound and was down.

He's some better pics....


And in case some of you didn't catch it earlier.....I was hunting with Hope.  

She was a big Girl.

Terry that poor 'ol doe had no idea you were down to your "starvation" arrow    Great shooting!!!

It takes an honest man to admit to misses...Someone who ain't afraid to "put it out there". If it can happen like that to a fella that has killed some great critters from wiley hogs, to bears, to buffalo, to big deer then it can happen to ANYONE! Ol lucky just had a horseshoe up his arse...'cause I can bet he never come closer to being dead than having you that close    

Congrats on makin' meat with Hope!!!

Way to go Terry!  

Dang that's a big doe    

Way to go!!

WoW thats a big deer,perfect shot on that one!  

Here's my 'Hide Out'.....

 

While I'm loading Lucky pics n clips...

Anyone ever see anything like this at the base of the neck of a deer?

 

Yeah all our deer around here have that Terry. Sometimes the hair tips aren't that dark and it isn't as clear. And sometime the circle patter isn't as perfect either.

Awesome stuff Congrats!

Looks like a big ol cowlick

Terry, sent ya a text pic!!

Kenny, did you just send Terry a picture of Lucky Charms in the back of somebody else's truck?
 

No ,LOL, sent him a pic of him that I took a month back......

If I was as smart as this smart fone, I'd post it here!!  

Terry, I think that's a crop circle. I have seen the hair grow that way but never darker like that.

That was a neat whorl , never saw one quite like it!!

There's a great reason to keep a diary on hunting trips. It's so you can keep the days and the events straight.
Maybe it's my age or I.Q. but I can't remember what happened when. I know Terry got pretty intense in his pursuit of "Lucky" and the discussions at night were more game plan strategy than anything.

My own days were busy enough, and I anticipated a nice buck showing up every time I was in the woods.
If you drew a straight line from my stand to the oak/pond site it couldn't be more than a few hundred yards, yet I don't believe I was seeing any of the deer that Terry was.
"Lucky" sure never showed up.

I saw bucks alright... probably at least 4 different ones.I could have shot one for sure but even with the relaxing of the point restrictions due to CWD I wasn't interested in burning my tag on him.

The oak tree up the hill continued to show deer late in the day, scrounging for the remaining acorns. I thought about a ground set up there, but most of the deer wandered down my way anyway so I never did that.

One evening I looked up to see a lone deer feeding under that oak. It finally moved out into the beans and fed around for 15 minutes or so before I saw two more deer cross over from the tree farm.

Had any of them sported decent racks I'd have seen it from where I was. I raised my Leica's just out of curiosity.
Interestingly enough the last two deer were little bucks. A spike and a narrow, high,6 point. As they finished looking around under the oak, they moved out into the beans.

That made the lone animal (a young doe) pretty nervous and she scooted down the hill toward me.  It looked like she would hit the gap on my left and cross over the fence behind me.
Either that or she'd come by straight out in front of me. Either way, she would be in trouble.
