So I went Thursday to sit in a stand for an evening hunt.  I worked late Wednesday so I left a bit early from work Thursday around 3:30.  I grabbed my gear and heading out to my honey hole.  I pulled up hooked up my stuff and headed out.  I reached my tree around 4pm and spent the next 10 minutes climbing up until I was situated.  I had just enough time to nock an arrow when I looked to my left and saw a button buck about 15 yards facing toward me away eating acorns.  How he didn't see me I don't know but I'll take luck any day.  I didn't have a shot from my seated position so I was content letting him eat and walk closer.  He kept looking over his shoulder so I figured there was another deer with him.  Looking into the woods behind him I was straining looking for another deer.  As I leaned out a bit to get a better look at the area he was looking at I saw out of my peripheral vision a doe walk right under my tree.  I didn't have time to get nervous.  I watched her walk out to about 12 yards, she turned quartered away, I picked a spot, and let er fly.  It was blood trail was so easy I think a blind man could have followed it.  

Here's the first blood after the shot.  It was her first step after the hit.  



Here's the arrow after it passed through.  




Here's how I found her 30 yards away.



Here's the insides after gutting her.



Here's the entry hole.

He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow, and concealed me in his quiver. Isaiah 49:2

What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?


Never leave the one you love, for the one you like.

By the way... I'm hunting a inside city limits on a doe first management area and I'm glad to say that I've got my doe outta the way so I can kill a bruiser before many of the guys shooting training wheels  :D

12 yards and a 30 yard run, that's just about as good as it ever gets. Congratulations on a nice animal. Well done.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Pulling the drain plug might be an understatement.  None the less that is a great way to put words to the picture.  I like it.  Hopefully the bruiser will go down the same way.  I've killed more doe than I can count on one hand but I've yet to recover a buck shot with a bow.  Maybe it's my year?
