Bagged an 8 pt today with my 66 inch 57# 7 Lakes longbow, a 3 Rivers prefinished cedar with a WW on the business end.
I saw 6 or more bucks chasing doe and not getting any interest out of them,(reminds me of High School)and had 3 deer go directly under my stand and brush the tree I was in and then exit straight away and not give me a shot. Later a big boy did the same and at 15 yards on the far side I whistled softly. He stopped and turned to see what was making the noise.Big mistake.

I shot out of a treesuit and this is the first  deer I have killed out of it and that makes me smile cause I like it.

Guys when I checked in at the local gun store where they tagged deer they went ape sh-t when they found out I got it with a longbow. I got some real big smiles and congradulations. That was nice to see that they appreciate the extra effort we put in.

They took a picture at the check in and it was in a parking lot hanging off the trailer. It does not give this glorious animal his due so I do not want to post it.

But I got to tell you, I trailed it and just wanted to get the direction he was goin after I lost sight of him. I looked ahead and someone had laid out this blaze orange flag over a raised area of ground then I realized it was the frigin deer! He like spued like a whale out the entry hole. And I found what looked like long tenderloins 15 inches long and they turned out to be congealed blood jello-like he coughed up. Weird,I never seen that before.

It was a Wensel.


Paul

good job

Well done. Great story but pics of the deer would be the icing on the cake!

Way to go!!!  

Congratulations. Sounds like an awesome morning in the woods.

Mark

nice going,congrats!

I might add that as I was seeing so many bucks I tried rattling. I watched a buck pay no never mind to it and not even react. My conclusion was  hot chicks trumps being big man on campus.
Paul

congrats!

Where you hunting at?  My dad and I are probably going to Vinton County next week, we're about 30 minutes from Athens.

All my hunting is done just outside the city limits, but I usually wait for deer to get out of my driveway which is in the city to go hunting. We have 16 treestands less than a mile from my favorite restaruant! Love it.
