RE: Who as actually taken a deer with a bow?
I just started last year & I got 3 does. Stuck a buck too but lost that one. [:'(] Sucks, almost quit bowhunting. But chit happens, life goes on. I let a few does walk Wed on opening day as they were both small & I was thinking I'd see something bigger. Well the bigger one busted me. I wasnt sure because they didnt spook, just wandered away. Then yesterday & today too they come over a rise where they can look if I'm there & then just turn & leave.
I wasnt gonna go there today but did anyway. I think I'll go back next Wed & go up a different tree with the climber & try taking her out. It worked for me last year. I got busted & the next afternoon I climbed a different tree, leaving the other stand up too & when she came thru she was lookin at that stand so hard I think I coulda tripped her.
Sorry for the ramble.
