Second deer season with my xbow

Post by denisdendenis »

Deer season opening , Sat. 22 sept. . Light rain got to my stand for 5.00 am , then the thunder and lighting and downpour. i saw no deer just 25 turkeys all day .
( I went turkey hunting this spring . No turkey ( had a great time :? ) Go deer hunting , see some turkey :shock:
Sunday morning backt to the stand for 5.00 am , windy and cold .
Saw some movement through the brush, 7.30 am ... Small 4 points come straight to the feeder . I tell myself play cool , is not going nowhere, i grab my xbow check my new rage expandable xbow breadhead OK , second line in the scope behind the shoulder .
Pull the trigger ... Saw my lumenok go ... i heard a Bang !!! Saw the deer kick and run thru the wood NO crash :?:
I went to get ny friend at is stand before he leave for church. we went back to my stand to look for the arrow , could not find the arrow :?: Look at the tree big chuck of bark missing ( the bang that i heard ) and blood everywhere.
So i got a pass thru :D By now it 8.30 am ... Tracking time :D found 1 drop off blood 30 yard from the tree :cry: not looking good . we track the droplet of blood here and there ( very hard to see ...( yes i had my glasse )for a 200 yard . Before finding the the deer :D Looking at the deer my shot was about 7 inc. high :?: :?: :?: it was a lung shot ,the deer bleed from the inside it was full of blood ( Mark !!! you were right ) :roll:
