Funny how a broken arrow isn't so bad when it's red.

over breakfast we talked about where we were going to hunt. and how long we were going to stay out. zach decided he wanted to go to a stand called joshs stand and matt decided he was going to take his climber and go by the new cut throught road and climb on a white oak flat. I decided i was going to the LONGBOW STAND!! oh yea the long bow stand! we renamed it last year after i killed the 8pt in my avatar out of it!

rolltidehunter · September 24, 2011, 11:45:00 PM

so at 5:15 im sitting in my tree. yes 5:15 thats 1 hour and 30 min before sunrise! well its opening day! a itlle after 6 i hear matt and zachs 4 wheelers crank up... as the sound of their mufflers disapeared in the distance i said a quick prayer for them to be safe and i wished them luck

rolltidehunter · September 24, 2011, 11:49:00 PM

at 6:15 i had a barred owl light in the tree beside me. he gave out a few loud hoots. WHO COOKS FOR YOU!!! WHO COOKS FOR YOU ALL he cried. man i excpected to hear a turkey gobble. wait its fall not spring John.... thats the turkey hunter in me. sending chills down my spine. i think i was a turkey in a past life.... but back to the deer! ITS OPENING DAY!!

rolltidehunter · September 24, 2011, 11:52:00 PM

6:30 the squirls wake up. man i forgot how loud they can be. fussing and fighting and squeeking at eachother. for the next 45 min i proceeded to think every sound those squirls made were deer hoofs crunching leafs. but i thanked them for knocking all those white oaks down around my tree!

rolltidehunter · September 24, 2011, 11:54:00 PM

7:10 i hear a stick pop! now where talking! that was not a squirl! that was a deer! i look over my shoulder and i see a 1 1/2 6pt walking right to me! i turn my camera on and decide to get some video of him... not going to shoot this guy i am waitng on his older brother or daddy or older cousin or momma or granny or just a doe!

rolltidehunter · September 25, 2011, 12:01:00 AM

he eats a few acorns and slips past me.

7:25 i hear another stick pop....from the same way that buck came from. i turn look over my shoulder and i see 2 does headed right to the tree... oh yea im going to shoot one of these girls. the 1st doe get to 5 yards. stops in a scrape and starts licking a branch. im trying to focus the camera on her and then get drawn back.. wait she take a step. wait shes not in the cam. im about to draw and she trotts off to my right just out of bow range. i glance at the other doe behind her... she is looking right at me! DANG IT SHE HAS PICKED ME OUT... sometimes i forget im hunting and not filming it get caught up trying to get things on film and i forget to just HUNT! well she takes one leap and stops quarting away about 25 yards

rolltidehunter · September 25, 2011, 12:05:00 AM

i picked a spot and draw my bow and released a arrow! PERFECT SHOT! she runs off crashing into trees and disapears over the ridge. i look over and the other doe runs right at me. i nock a arrow she stops 20 yards i draw and forget to pick a spot and sail one over her back! oh well i missed .( we can shoot 3 does a day in this county)

rolltidehunter · September 25, 2011, 12:12:00 AM

after they ran off i gave thanks to our creator and prayed that my arrow hit its mark and did its job. i waited about 45 min and got down. i walked over the ridge and there she was. infact my arrow did do its job.

this was my 1st deer with a wooden arrow. prob will never shoot a carbon arrow out of it again. i like woodies
