Was that rosemary and onions?
Where are yall? I'll come help!
I wish I could bring the whole team here. We could give em a run for their money. I mostly hunt public but when I get an invite to come hunt here, it’s like coming to a whole new world. Great place to fill the freezer and stack ten points for team nine.
So you may be asking yourself, where did Xander hit that deer? well funny story. She was to the west of me and the setting sun was giving me problems. As she was walking I thought I had it right when all of a sudden the sun broke into my field of view blinding me out as I pulled the trigger. Well I pulled a little bit in that moment and it went back on the deer, way back. She took off like a bat out of you know where. I didn’t her her crash but I gave her til dark. I checked my arrow and it was all stomach matter. My heart sank. But I looked over and it’s all blood spray on the ground. I cautiously take up the trail out of the field to at least the field edge. It’s blood spray everywhere. I keep cautiously following the blood trail looking for the eyes of a bedded deer ahead but all I am seeing is tons of blood. Within seven minutes I found my deer. I could have easily walk/ran the blood trail with the amount of blood and been there if I had wanted too. As I suspected from the trail, when it went back, it went way back and through the hams. There was some intestines that came out one side since it was near the pelvic cavity. The other was center ham. It’s not what you want to hit, but boy it was efficient. She only made it 175 yds and by the look of it ran the whole way and just died. Thankfully I didn’t loose much meat, just a bit of the sirloin tip. It was an interesting track. You can see her circling back to bedding. Broad head was a rage hypodermic. That large cut was helpful and it had enough energy to blow through her and stick 8 inches in the dirt.
Hope you slam a nanny! I use a Mystery Ranch pop up 28 and love it.
Shoot a little high?
That would be correct sir. Then had a doe walk out today, but was waiting for the bigger one following her to step out from he ing some brush. Unfortunately the “bigger” one stepped out and was only a fawn. By the time I realized my mistake the first doe caught me moving and spooked.
Been there done that. One of the does I killed straight up dodged my first arrow. She stuck around too long and I got the second crack where she was not so lucky.
Shot and missed last night, saw a small buck and spooked a doe tonight, all within 30 yards... the question now becomes, do I hunt that spot tomorrow night or go hunt somewhere else and give it a break???
I’m shocked she even made it 100 yards after looking at that arrow...
Hit it again while it's hot! This time don't be picky waiting on the trailing doe though brother
