First deer of 2012
Took my first deer of the year this morning. It was also the first deer with my new Ibex that I got back in the spring.
A doe came out at 6:45 and walked around feeding for a little while. Before she got to my tracks where I had walked in I let the arrow go. She was about 12 steps from my tree. The XX75 2117 and 125 gain Slick Trick did their job with a complete pass through. She went less than 50 yards.

Re: First deer of 2012
Great job nice deer she looks like a piebald deer the white on the belly looks to be more than normal?
Hunt eat sleep repeat.
Re: First deer of 2012
Congrats! Nice doe and I love the extra white meat you got with that one.
It's still too warm for my hunting preferences, I hung another stand and cleared a little bit of tree limbs that had me worried about possible shots.

Re: First deer of 2012
Thanks a lot guys. It sure was a good morning. Our season came in last Saturday and I haven't seen a lot of deer but this one was close enough. I always like breaking the ice with the first one and then the pressure is off.
I don't like hot weather myself but Since last Saturday the weather has been really nice here, lows in the 50s and highs in the upper 70s. It's the kind of weather that makes you want to be outside.HIGHBOW wrote:Congrats! Nice doe and I love the extra white meat you got with that one.

Nice deer and nice shot placement.
The meat don't fry if the arrow don't fly!

Why ride when you can walk!
Re: First deer of 2012
Yep, looks like she's got a few spots on her. The front legs have some too.groundpounder wrote:I was thinking the same thing. Congrats on your doe!gerald strine wrote:Great job nice deer she looks like a piebald deer the white on the belly looks to be more than normal?
Congrats on the deer! She should be some good eating. With piebalds being as rare as they are, you should probably take the hide and have it tanned.
