8pt down for a dirt nap

Post by Hester0305 »

It was a great afternoon in the woods this afternoon, I was finally able to put one of the 8 pts down that I pics of, the wind was swirling all afternoon I figured i probably wouldn't see anything when shortly after
7:00 I saw the 5 pt coming in to my corn and he came straight in and started feeding, a short time later I saw another deer coming and I saw right away it was one of my 8 pts that I had pics of. The 8 pt took his sweet time
it took him about 10 more minutes before he came into shooting range at 32 yards, I had my speed dial on 35 and turned it down and centered up the shot as the luminock hit him, the arrow hit higher than I expected
and he went down but got back up on the front end and started down the hill, I couldn't get a shot at him so I climbed down and went toward him as he slid down the embankment into the creek where I put a finishing
shot on him. He had a big body and it took a while to get him out of the creek even with my 4 wheel drive 4 wheeler trying to get him back up the hill. It felt good finally connecting with a decent buck for our area.
