Street talk is our turkey guru Joey Buchanan killed a monster whitetail today. Who said big whitetails are tough compared to a butterball? Someone needs to prod him for the story and some pictures.

Looking forward to this one!

Out with it Joey!  We've all read your accounts on the benefits of the tree sling thingy, ect... so let see some proof  

The picture I saw made Joey look thin.

Thanx to Don I saw the pic....it's true, it makes him look thin!!

Congrats bud    

Let's see it!

Come on Joey!  Did ya get him "off the roost"?  Let's hear it!

I need a camera that does that! Joey is a helluva woodsman- glad he scored on a dandy buck!

Can't wait to hear the story and see the pictures.  I need some pumping up after this past week.

C MON Joey we are waiting patiently  

How do you turn down an intro from Mr. Whitetail himself.......no not Marty.....Uncle Barry the man. well.... i'll keep it short.....most of ya'll are probably ADD like me....MS River Pre rutt was smokin last week with COLD temps. I had missed 2 nice bucks and a doe and paunch shot a doe i recovered the next day. My accuracy or confidence was taking a beating.. ya'll know the merit badge... Decided to let my homemade recurve bow i call Swamprooter rest Sat. morning for first time in 20 seasons and try my new Alaska Bowhunting Nano 2 longbow i had been shooting off and on for months.  Hunted a stand in a sweetgum cutover i havent been too in 2 years except briefly in Aug to check on climbing steps.  I slept late and got to my stand at 7 am. Bumped a nice buck going in but contined on.  7:05 6 pt. comes trotting by and never checks up. 7:15 i see horns, alot of horns and he's coming with head up. Its thick where i hunt so i see him first at 40 yards and get ready he's at 30 ,20 15....oh crap..he 's going to cross my entrance path.......12.....10..he has no clue......8 ......7..........pull the arrow to my eye and looked down the shaft and whisper "Hello Smokey".....thunk!!!!..1 7/8" broadhead buries through the buck..reason why i said Hello Smokey is because the buck croosed right over my boot tracks which i had applied Smokeys Coon scent on my boots.......love that stuff...... so first time i ever took the Nano 2 hunting and 15 minutes later.....i got horns and meat...stayed in stand another hour so i could miss another doe and get that streak started again ( limb hit a muscadine vine or something like that )........the buck had that low thunder take off. whac..whac.whac...whuc..whuc.and started to plow over small sapplings , i knew he was down...... found him 43 steps from my stand.....pic makes him look huge... but he has three main beams which is different for me.......i was lucky this time.....its strange new feeling  


 

Great buck!
