RE: 42-Official Team 42 Thread
Sup boys? Went out after work yesterday. Got in the stand by 5:30 and as I am pulling my bow up I hear some deer walking towards me. I get my bow and my release on and look over to see a small 6pt and a large mature doe walking behind my stand about 20 -25 yds out. Pull up the range finder and they are at 19yds when they stop. Since I didn't get ready in time they had walked through my first shooting lane and ended up on the opposite side of the tree behind me. I drew back and settled the 20yd pin behind her shoulder and right before I release I look down at my broadhead and there is a twig with a couple leaves on it about a foot from the end of the arrow. So I had to let down and let hergo.After they were out of sight Igot the trimmers out and cut those damn branches off. Half hour later I had a small 8pt (80" - 100") walk right under my stand. He looked really healthy sohe should be a good one in a couple years. All in all I had a good night, I have seen deer every time I have been in the stand this year. I feel pretty good about tomorrow morning. I'm hunting the big farm(2000acres) all day tomorrow.6 different stands to choose from, so wish me luck and good luck to the rest of the team.
