22" 10pt. at 12yds.

[52 bow]

At 8:00 this a.m. a wide 160 + 10pt. came over a rise 25yds. in front of me , slowly feeding right at me.He had 5" brows then 9",12",10" with 22+ spread but only avg. mass but 28+ beams. At 12yds. he turned broadside and looked away,I drew my A.S.longbow , picked a spot,anchored and then held on for dear life.We can only shoot 1 buck in In. and my tag was already on a 17" 9pt. Felt a greater sense of satisfaction lowering my draw than on most of the deer I've taken.Never saw this buck before.To make things worse{better???] at 8:30 two more nice bucks came in and bedded 10-25 yds.in front of me-17-18" 10 pts. with one having forked brows-both bigger than the one I tagged!! I'm doe hunting and the bucks must know it!!!Love every min. of it!!!

Those big bucks made great doe bait ! I use them that way all the time!

We should trade spots John! All I saw this morning were does and I didn't see anything at all tonight. I think I'm gonna sleep into tomorrow and spend the morning with the son and daughter-in-law before they take off for Nashville. Good luck with the rest for your season! Hey, you going to go to Kalamazoo? Let me know.....Mike

QUICK - move some place else where you can shoot TWO bucks!!!

It's almost as though the bucks knew you only had a doe tag and were mocking you. Be thankful for the experience.
