I've gained so much knowledge here and through the PBS. THANK YOU.     :archer:    This ayem it paid off.              [/url] [/IMG]  Mac, (John McCreary)  it was great that you were one of the first to respond. I owe getting back into hunting to you, bow hunting all the more. My bride was already off to work when I woke up, so quick coffee, bowl of oatmeal, dressed and out the door. I've done most of my hunting within 4 miles of home for 30 years +-. so I know the turf pretty well. After the beans came out, the farmer planted rye as a cover crop, taking the bean stubble down really short. It was a quick, quiet 300 yard walk to where I'd built a ground blind. This was my first ayem hunt there, and I found myself backlit by the morning sun. Scooting over 5 feet took care of that, and I still had a good view of the travel lanes in front of me. Nothing but squirrels for a long time. Geese overhead and some crows and blackbirds on the wing. I saw movement in the wood lot and saw white tines moving west to east, about 60 yards out. Nose down, looking for a doe that had come thru earlier perhaps. He continued, I rattled and grunted, he continued. Five later he's 30 yards east of me(calm winds this morning) and turns east again. rattle, grunt once he's out of sight. Nothing. 5 later, GRUNT.RIGHT.HERE. off to my right, east, here he comes, down his rub line. 10 more steps, GRUNT! 5 more steps, arrow is away with a thwack! from hitting the rib on the far side of the chest. He hauls tail north to the sanctuary. I watch him and my arrow slip through the honeysuckle. shake, worry, grin, wait, text son, worry, think it over, wait... Time's up. Head for the place I saw him last. Mistake(more later). I find blood, then my arrow with the purple Delta on the front. I look up ahead and smile. He's down. An hour drag back to where I can get the truck to, an hour figuring how to get him in by myself(I'll be buying something to help with that). When we come to my blind, I see blood, 10 yards from my seat. A huge spray with hair in it. If I'd gone there first, there would have been NO worry. Zwickey Delta caught both lungs a bit high and back, but plenty enough damage.

The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

That's a beaut!  I love those brow tines.

Thanks for sharing!
