Black Beauty draws blood.

Post by Woodspike »

Still trying to work out this timeline in my head... Got my bow yesterday, got her dialed in today, and tonight, just before dark, she draws first blood. I could not ask for more.

He's no trophy buck, but should just about fill up the freezer.

Thank you all for your help and patience in answering all my questions, and for getting me to this point...

Indeed! He wasn't a small deer by any stretch, though obviously no monster. He expired on a clear trail about 15 yards from where he was shot, and that fork side made him a breeze to drag back.
I honestly can not picture a better situation.

What really blows my mind, was when we (My father couldn't help but come along to check it out) got to the deer, he immediately threw his buck tag on it.. :shock: . We are splitting up the meat on this one, and I now have an excuse to get back out and chase that big boy I've had my eye on for a couple years.
All in all, a fantastic past few days.
