My first shot at a deer with my new Excalibur bagged me this trophy size Buck. He weighed 285 lbs and has 8 non typical points.
I tracked him until after dark and he was still standing, so I called it a night and then went out first thing in the morning to bring him in.
With all the rain we had been having in the area the ground was very muddy and made it too difficult for me to drag out of the field on my own so I went to my neighbour Jerome for help. Jerome also happens to be the dealer I bought the bow from. The buck was so heavy even the 2 of us couldn’t drag it out so we ended up cutting it in half. What a workout!
I get a good chuckle from friends when they hear I was out in the field sitting in my camp chair, bow across my lap, cigar in one hand and a Pepsi in the other when this buck started coming toward me.
