axiom drops a slick head

Post by xbowrook »

I was planning on heading out to the deer bush Monday morning but I got selected for a few hours OT at work, so wife said I should go out last night.. was tired but figured what the heck.. drive to the bush and brought my climber this time as I wanted to sit in a spot I planned to put a 2 man ladder stand for me and my boy.. got set up pretty quick and quiet and was ready to hunt by 3:30pm... bush was perfect.. nice and quiet, leaves are dropping and no wind... all was slow up until around 6:30pm.. thought I heard something walking around but , due to so many leaves being on the trees, couldn't see anything... did a "maw-waw" call on my doe bleat and waited.. heard something again.. did the call again , put my crossbow on my lap and waited.. within seconds I hear walking, look to my left and hear comes a nice doe... she comes to 5 yards , I put my 10 yard chevron on her and squeeze the trigger.. she jumps up and runs off, I can see her bleeding really good.. she runs 32 yards and I watch her fall over.. done in , literally, seconds... then I hear more running around, see a young button buck and a doe come to see her and walk around her for a bit.. then they come to me and walk around at 5 yards for a bit and the button buck starts eating the dead log by my stand ( I poured deer co'caine on it and some rack stacker crush powder).. then they wander off after 10 minutes of eating ... here's a pic of my deer where she dropped and a pic of the button buck eating the log..

thanks guys.. no, I forgot to cut them out before taking to the butcher shop.. he normally just wraps them and marks them so I can take them right away, season and cook.. can't wait.. was thinking of having them for our Thanksgiving dinner but we are already having wild turkey and goose for dinner...lol

Congrats on your doe, I love filling my tags with adult does they are very tasty on the grill and in the slow cooker. What better way to break in the Axiom.
