Great job and awesome follow up shot!

I don't care if you hit the heart on the first shot, if the deer gives you an oppurtunity for a second shot......Take it!
Better to be sure than sorry for it later.

Congratulations!!

I have to admit that when I saw your thread my excitement level went to that ultra high level because I was expecting to read about you taking your deer from behind your "Ghost Blind".

I am happy for you no matter what kind of method you used.

You done good!

God bless,Mudd

" When in doubt, quiver out!"

My thoughts exactly!

Thanks everyone, it was a great afternoon and I was blessed to be able to take this deer. Over the past month or so shot opportunities have been scarce and I blew a fairly easy one I was presented with......by not picking a spot. I made myself really focus on this one.

I was going to use the Ghost blind but the wind was "supposed" to be right for this stand and I'll take being in a tree over being on the ground 9 times out of 10.

I just read that article in TBM as well. I don't advocate long shots on live, healthy game but it's great to be able to sink another arrow into a wounded animal at longer ranges. I have been trying to practice my longer shots for the reasons listed in the article. I figure if a wounded animal gives me another shot, I'm going to take it, so I might as well improve my chances of making it count

Great story and pictures. I think you may be in a "Deer Hunters Heaven" I am with you on a follow up arrow. I have done the same thing several times and never regretted it. Thanks again for the story and pictures.
