Re: 2 deer with a very expencive weapon

Year ago I was in the right place at the right time. An 18 wheeler in front of me hit a deer and kept on trucking down the road. I stopped to move the deer off of the road and noticed that it did not appear badly damaged. so I call the police and got it tagged. upon skinning it it appeared that the ...

My Dumb mistake.

I made a mistake that cost me an 8 point buck. I was hunting out of my gun stand and had partially removed the shooting rail. A nice buck came out and was standing broadside to me and totally unaware that I was up in my stand I put the crossbow down on the 2Xr and had a perfect shot which I took. Th...

Death wish

I have a fawn that has a death wish. It has been within 6 yards of me multiple times. last eve when I got out of my stand she walked over by me and stood 10 yards away playing peekaboo with me. Another hunter may end up taking here as she seams to have no fear. I'll let her grow a little first.
