Hello everyone - Nice One down. VIDEO ADDED

Post by pphoenix »

UPDATE I have a video of the hunt on Youtube have a look if you would like, it's nice to see the shot on video, the old phoenix doing some damage.

http://youtu.be/18Wc6KqUyhc

Hello everyone, it's been a while, no longer in the East, now living in Saskatchewan. The phoenix finally put one down, thought I would share my story and pictures here with you guys.

It all started in early April, when I put the trail cameras out, started looking for a good one to hit. I first spoted this guy in the middle of July, first got him on camera in velvet and thought, "oh he's a good one". Couple months went by and I never seen him anymore.

So come the start of the season, I put together my hit list, which most of you might have already seen posted here. I was going after number 2 because I hadn't seen number one in months. On September 16th, I actually shot at number 2, him jumping the string and me shoting a little high, resulted in a complete miss, the arrow still grazzed his back, but all was good, I have it all on video, so no harm done there. Shortly after I seen number one show up on the cameras again. A few days go by and number 4 and 2 showing up in front of my blind, I let them walk, even thought I was still mad for missing number 2, 4 days later it all came to an end on October 15th at 5:26 pm, the G3 buck was down. 20 yard shot with Excaliber Phoenix, took out both lungs and sliced the heart, 60-70 yards later it was my hands. A quick gross score of 160, around 156 with deductions. He's a 5x5 with a sticker of the G2 on the right side.

The hit list:

Nice Work! Great Saskatchewan Buck!

Some REAL Nice ones over there alright! Lived in Saskatoon for quite a spell, hunted most of the Province, including your new neck of the woods. With the numbers of Good Deer they have, methinks you can look forward to many many more Great Seasons! :wink:

Congratulations!! :D

Cheers,
Nog
