Nope! Not a monster buck like you were hoping, but a trophy anyways! In fact, its my first doe kill with a bow. In the 12 out of my 24 years of age i've been bowhunting this is only my third deer but I am happy to say that i've recovered all three. Here's the story...rifle season has started here so I don't like to venture very far from home (the treestand behind the house works nice) because I don't feel like accidentally getting shot. It was a cold morning this morning (finally) with a nice north breeze hitting me in the face. Directly after daybreak was pretty uneventful except for a couple spikes. About 10:00 a.m. I was starting the feel the effects from the coffee and decided to start packing up to climb down when I heard something cross the creek. Four does eventually made their way to my right (which was downwind) and I thought the lead doe had figured me out. But for whatever reason she took one more step and that was all I needed. The shot was 12 yards, double lung, and a complete pass through. She ran a total of 20 yards and went down. My setup is a 52# Kanati, goldtips with two blade 125 grain magnus b-heads weighing in at a total of 550 grains. Thanks for reading!

The ranger behind me kinda ruins the picture but she dropped entirely too close to a path not to take advantage of it!


My ugly mug is on the left and my most ugly brother is on the right!!


I bought the bow from "30coupe" off the classifieds and love it. He told me to get it bloody and post pics so here you go Russ!

     Way to go sir!

Awesome job!

Congrats Tyler!!    Nice deer, Shot and Bow!!

 It's not a bad idea to stay close to home during the gun season, I have heard more shots in the last few days then I have in the last 5 years combined. I think everybody is having a good season  :D

Congrats    

   

Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us.      

Very nice,  them Kanati's are shooters..

You are right it got cold here in Kansas finally.  I missed the biggest buck in our part of the woods that i have seen in the last 20 years.  I am glad to see that at least one Kansan can hit em when it is coldern old billy.  I get a real kick out of using my bow in rifle season.  Great shot, great eating.  Great memories

Congratulations
