RE: Wild and Wacky stories
THIS IS A NO SH*****!!!!!
I was sitting on a milk crate 3 rows into the corn, woods were 5 yds in front of me and I could see into another cornfield about 20 yds away and down an opening to my right. Hour and a half before dark I had a doe walk within 4yds but was one step short of getting pounded(I was at full draw for a minute!). She walked off and took 2 does and a little basket rack buck with her. Good start to the evening! About an hour later I see this barrel stilts coming from the other cornfield. He walks behind a big tree so I standup and draw. He never comes out from behind the tree. By this time I'm shaking from holding the bow back so long. I let off and sit back on the crate. As soon as butt hits, antlers appear out of the trees in front of me at 5yds. With my feet still under me I stand up and draw again and shoot between 2 stalks of corn at 3yds. With the shot the buck rears up and plants his foot 2ft from foot and takes off the other way. I wait for the noise to stop go to see where he was when I shot. All I found was 2 tufts of hair. When I shot I felt good because I heard the arrow hit. I found my arrow in a tree 10yds away with no blood on it. At this time I was pissed, I about picked up walked out of the woods. I had 15 mins of shooting light left so I sat back down. Not 10mins later I looked to my right over the corn and saw antlers coming at me. I was waiting for the deer to come in front of me when he turned left and headed into the corn. I turned and shot down the corn row at about 12 yds as soon as his shoulder came into view. I found my arrow right away with blood from end-to-end. He didn't go 40yds! While checking in the deer the next morning and telling the story, I found where the first arrow left two 6 inch cuts down the middle of the back where I missed. This was the same deer!
