well, i got my broadheads resharpened and i think i have licked my wounds enough to head back out tomarrow for a birthday buck. Hopefully the bucks are as active as they were on thursday evening. I have been so pissed off about the shot i pulled off on that deer that i have been practicing like a mad man so hopefully it pays off.

That's no good Marty. Bow hunters seem to have some pretty ****ty luck at times.
If that deer was scoring 130-140, I'd put in at least another 6 hours. My first bow kill was a 130 that I hit too far back & ended up looking for him for 3 days. I had around 20 hours invested in searching for him & ended up finding him on day three. He was tore up pretty good & the meat wasn't salvageable, but the antlers were & they're hanging in my living room. 8) So get back out there & find that deer. |
Practice is a good part of it, but controlling that heartbeat when the shot on the animal comes is a whole different story. Don't beat yourself up about it too much. It happens and maybe he will be out there for another chance.

That would be a welcoming sight, to see him come limping by at 20 yards lol.

No luck here at home yet. I did see 7 does and fawns last night. Hopefully they stick around. The bucks will be soon to follow in a couple of weeks. We are headed back out to Ohio on Friday. Hopefully the bucks will be starting to move out there.

I wish i could have invested more time into him but i am "on-call" for work. I cant leave town from friday after work to monday morning. It sucks i know, but its the life of a line-man i guess.

Well, I destroyed a yearling doe this afternoon. I put 125gr of Rage on her at 40 yards & she dropped where she stood. She tried to get up & run after being knocked over but with a hole on both sides of her spewing blood like a fountain, she didnt have what it takes to get up & run. I f$#kin love those Rage broadheads, they hit like a truck.
And Team Pass Thru continues to secure the lead with six kills on the scorecard.  |
Gotta Love that! Great Job!!

Happy B-Day Marty, hope ya had a good one.:party0005::party::woot::birthday: |
Way to go Jason! Now that you got the first kill out of the way, it's time to put some horns on the ground! I'm thinking the seeking phase of the rut is coming mid next week.
