I got a nice six point tonight with the Equinox.
This was the second time hunting this stand,I had two deer come in the first time but there wasn't light enough to shoot yet so I did an evening sit this time.
I got in the stand at 3:00 and this time brought my thermacell(I wont forget that again,blood sucking vermon)I was hunting out of an Ameristep 16' ladder stand with shooting rail.
I setteled in with a good book(The good book) and was enjoying my time in the word and the woods.I killed my doe last week at 6:30 so at 6:00 I put the bible away,took a drink of water and got serious.
At 6:25 I heard a twig snap and moved my bow into position.
I am hunting planted pines and he is coming diaginal across the rows.
I get him in the scope at 60 yards and follow him all the way in to 15 yards.
He stops and stiffens up,starts looking around,stomps his foot and lifts his tail,I'm no expert but I know what that means so I took the shot with him quarting to me.
The Factory arrow with a G5 Montec entered at the front of the right shoulder and exited breaking the last rib on his left side.Compleete pass through again,he went 15 yard and was done.
He is somewhat Piebald and not as large in the body as my other buck or doe.
I would like to dedicate this Buck in memory of mt friend Digger and call him the Digger Buck.
R.I.P. Digger,I miss you
Here he is.
It was getting dark and starting to rain so I didn't clean him up very well.
I am taking these pictures myself.
As uncle Ted say's
Where have we seen this before?
Got my third tonight 10/05/08
