first deer with a bow!

so Friday night the planets moons and stars all aligned for me. It's not that big, maybe 100lbs, not a trophy to many, but a trophy to me. The rage broadhead did the trick, I hit him in the femoral artery, there was a blood trail even a blind man could follow. It was like someone splattered paint all over the woods.

 

I was out for 10 hrs today with no luck but congrats man!

 

congrats..bye bye bambi

 

actually bye bye spike. I thought it was bambi until we got him to the truck....and noticed the hardware.

 

congrats.. everyone was out today.. waiting to hear from my brother to see if we have dinner or not..

 

Gratz Jon - Ain't nothing like the first time - trophy or not! Kill looks clean.

 

i just found out today that here in jersey we can you crossbows now..i dont hunt but we used to shoot my friends garage all the time with his.it was bad ass

 

bye bye spike.......you little fucker

 

lol funny story.. I was on a doe only hunt last year to help manage someones hunting land. Noticed this doe running all around my stand. After about an hour and a half of watching I took a 60 yard shot with my rifle (300 mag) and it ran to my stand then died. Being the only one of the group that had a kill for the trip, I climb down to marvel at my trophy...as Im checking out the entry and exit holes my new cannon had made, I thought "thats odd...this doe has balls.." turns out it was about a year old spike..ooops. still tasted great though.

 

to be honest with you, where I aimed and where I hit were two different things I knew I hit "it" because at the time, the light was low and I couldn't see exactly what I was shooting. The deer just stood there and ate, could have easily looked up at me and ran off.....like I said, I got lucky, because the shot wasn't that good, but hit in the right spot. I found the arrow right away, total passthru covered in blood. The blood trail was very easy to follow, which was good. In all honesty, I didn't wait the alloted half an hour, I got down, went to the truck, got my buddy, and it might have taken 15 minutes total to track, not my IMO.

 

yup, he was young, but will taste great. I'm pretty happy, naw, very happy.

 

congrats man. I dont think ill get to go this year

 

I can't wait to go again. I think this years motto will be....if it's brown, it's....for dinner.

 

Now what do you mean by brown???

 

deer are brown, so if it's brown....it's down.

 

Congratulations. Great to have that first archery harvest under your belt. Backstraps are what's for dinner

 

awesome! i shot my first a few weeks ago, but with my black cloud luck, i couldnt recover it. still hurts to think about it.

what type of bowtech do you own?

 

bowtech equalizer, short axle to axle, 60 lbs. apparently plenty of stopping power.

 

congrats canuck!!! always no better feeling than the first bow kill. pressure is off now man.....so you can relax in the woods a bit.

 

Nice job. I shot a spike a few weeks ago with a Rage 2 blade, damn that thing does some damage. pics in profile
