austin....he went...ohhhh 15-20yds or so....
shot him just to the right of where the pic ends...heres a pic of where i shot him...
he was just to the left of the lone tree in the middle of the pic...between the lone tree and ATV trail...that yellow tree on the left of the pic is the same tree thats on the left of the downed deer pic....for comparision sake...
wish i wasnt shaking so bad...(not really! thats the BEST feeling) but for the pictures sake...i could gotten awsome pics if i wasnt shaking like a leaf(first bow kill)
buddy was on the other side of the mountain grouse hunting...i got on the radio and told him BUCK DOWN!! he unloaded his shotgun and jogged the whole way to me lol...i had to make him climb the tree to get my gear coz i was in no condition to climb down let alone climb down with my gear
took this pic a couple months later of the stand....im standing right where the buck was when i shot him...21yds away
its an old tree lounge my buddy uses as a lock on locked onto the oak or cherry tree...gotta climb the hemlock to get to the stand though...no way of using a rope to haul gear...someone years ago had a wooden stand built there so the hemlock hasnt had a top in years...
