First Crossbow Kill Ever

Post by Mark Rainbolt »

First deer with a crossbow!!!!
Shot this very nice 9 pointer this afternoon, was about 3:30.Snuck in to the stand got settled into the stand. I still have this habit but I like to smoke. So I smoked a cig got done, the wind was right.Did a little bit of calling and light rattling got done, put the rattle bag up that my wife made me.Thats when I heard crunch, crunch coming in hard and fast.He circled around in front of me and came right into me to 15 yards. My Excalibur Vortex did the rest he went 50 yards to a thicket I watched him wobbling and then he disappered. So I sat there smoked a cig, and played yathzee for 30 mins. Got down and tracked him he dressed just a tad over 200 pounds, he will score high 130's.I weigh over 300, and stand 6-1 so that gives you an idea of the body size of this buck. Thank you for looking.
God Bless,
Mark

Congrats on a nice Missouri Ridge Runner!!

And I use to smoke on stand as well. I used to say that a cigarette and cup of coffee was the best scent you could use because as soon as I lit up and poured a cup of coffee, the deer would show up :shock:
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4
