Man it was a hot November 5 here in Northern Virginia. By noon it was like 65 degrees...after sitting on stad for 7 hours I finally saw a good buck but couldnt get a shot around 4. I got down at 5 and backed out so I wouldnt spook the buck...I walked down the powerlines at a pretty good rate to get back to my truck. I came over a hill and there stood two doe. I hit my knees and knocked an arrow. The doe started walking toward me for some reason. When she got to 30 yards I stood up, drew my bow, and made a little sound. She turned to a perfect quartering away angle and I placed my 30 yard pin on her vitals, then I let it rip...all I heard was "crunch!" I knew it hit the ribs. She ran only 25 yards and fell over dead. What a slow day that turned into some really neat action quick!~
No props for the shadow on a ground kill with a perfect shot when the action was fast? Oh ok, I am gonna get my kids to pat me on the back this morning
thank you Greg and royak---my wife is always telling me to expand my circle of friends and to not be so reclusive(Ie-spending all my time in the woods).... thank you for helping me to grow by acknowleding and affirming my wonderful beautiful KILL!
Hey Shadow...Great Job! Thats one of the reasons I love bowhunting so much. You just never know when something like that may happen. I remember last year, I didn't see anything moving at all. I turned around and was puting stuff back in my pack. Got the bow ready to lower, turned around to clip bowon the string and there is a deer about 18 yrds. How he got there with out me seeing him [&:].The good thing is stuff like that makes for a longer story.....Then you get to tell it over and over Do you have any pics?
Congrats!!!

Man the arrow went in classic---mid way broadside and came out right behind the far leg---she went crashing through the thicket and I am not kidding you, I waited 15 seconds, then heard her crash. I crept around the corner of the thicket and saw her dead on the ground no more than 60 seconds later.
slooow hot day then....doe down from ground
Do you have any pics?
