First of the year for me...

[J. Cook]

I've seen a lot more deer from stand so far this season than normal, but nothing ever presented the shot I was looking for.  Finally, this past Saturday morning, a little 6pt made it's way in to me feeding on acorns and showing a littl attention to a pair of does that were around me.  

The last 2 years I've hunted with traditional only and, while I've had success, I've had some misses that were pretty frustrating.  This was very nearly one of those.  Simply put -- I got lucky.  The deer was completely calm, head down browsing when I shot.  He ducked and wheeled to run and th arrow went in behind the shoulder -- only by the time the arrow got there he had spun 90 degrees and it went in behind the shoulder, took out 1 lung and came out the front of the neck.  It severed his main artery and his windpipe so it was a 60 yard dead run -- easy recovery, 6 feet wide blodd spray!  

None-the-less, I got a quick kill, some good young meat in the freezer, and a bloody arrow!

Kind of neat in that his left antler still had the velvet on it, all dried up and hanging in shreds -- odd for this late in the year, but cool and unique all the same.
