Wife kills her 11 pt.

Post by Hester0305 »

Well my wife took her biggest buck this afternoon out of the grandkids playhouse where she shot an 11 pt at the edge of our tree line. She has been watching 3 bucks for the last couple of weeks out of the window from the house and she had decided that the 10 pt was the one she wanted to take. She had a close encounter with all 3 of the bucks yesterday but couldn't get a broadside shot at the 11 pt which we thought was a 10 pt. She passed on both of the other two 8 pts yesterday at 30 yards and this afternoon she made it happen when they came back in to feed. I ended up having our camcorder on a tripod and got the whole thing on film. The bucks came in with the 8 pt in front and did the same as it did yesterday giving her a very tempting shot at 30 yards but she held her composer and waited for the 11 pt to give her a broadside shot. She sent the Truglo Hybrid Titanium X into the heart and the deer jumped and ran with her pink lumenock just a shining. The arrow ended up exiting through the lung on the other side as the deer was making its death run. The buck ran between 60-70 yards leaving plenty of blood to follow, the Truglo ripped a very big entrance hole as you can see in the picture and was in great condition other than some dull blades. My wife was so excited and I'm very proud of her keeping her cool and making the shot. This will be an expensive deer because she has already said this one will be on the wall.

I know I couldn't kill anything at the house until she had her chances at the bucks, I believe she was obsessed with the 11 pt after watching it for several weeks every afternoon.

There is a nice 8 pt that has been coming also but I don't know if he'll be back since his buddy was shot in front of him. I went back and watched the video footage last night and it was pretty awesome.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks, I'm picking my 10 year old grandson up today at school and he's going to try his luck this afternoon in the playhouse, I have some does picked out for him and a small 4 pt and a 5 pt with a broken back leg. Maybe one will give him a good shot.

Love it !
Congratulations to the huntress on the fine harvest and nice shot, Impressive deer.
Also it would be great if she participated on the forum we could use more women sharing their experiences.
Hopefully Vix Chick will be participating soon.
