My first TURBO deer
FINALLY!! after two years of shoulder rehab I felt ready to try and take a deer with my TURBO NOCKS.
I got an invite from a good friend , Buster Greenway to come to Triple T Whitetails in Barry Ill. This is run by Jeff Bower.
When I first entered the old Federal period Home that is now used as a lodge for hunters , all I could do was say Holy ----
and drool at the mounts that were hung on the living room wall.
Yes There really are monster deer in Ill. I attached a poster with some of the trophies that all came from Jeff's properties.
Anyhow, the second night I was on a tree stand I had a small doe come by and I decided to fill my antlerless tag and take it.
The deer came into an opening about fifteen yds away, but was standing about 3/4 away from me and its vitals were blocked by a large tree. All I had as a target was the front sholders forward.
I had the bow drawn and the darn deer looked right up at me.
I decided that if and when it looked away I was going to drop it with a high shoulder shot. The angle looked like It would give me the shoulder, and if she lowered her neck to eat I would break her spine and exit out the neck in front of the far shoulder.
She turned her head and lowered it to eat some plants, and I took the shot. The doe dropped in her tracks. and rolled down a small embankment. She was paralized and tried to raise her head.
The Muzzy 90 grain blew right through her shoulder and broke her back and exited out the middle of the neck which was bleeding quite well. I decided to cut short any suffering for the deer and put a second shot into her spine just below the base of her scull, which killed her instantly. She was down and out in about 10 seconds. I took this deer with a TURBO Hunter and a Muzzy 90 grain.

A few minutes later , Buster Greenway took his doe about 200 yds away from me. He dropped his in her tracks with a shot to the back of the head. Buster took his with some handmade T-4 prototypes and the new T-4 with feathers worked as expected.
The last night I was there I got to see a real monster buck.
It came out of the woods 324yds from me and I could see bone without any binoculars. I was there about a week before the rut starts and was lucky to even see one of the monsters.
As I was leaving, Greg Hopf came to the lodge and was preparing to do a video on a hunt. We sponser his show on the sportsman channel. Hopefully I will get to see the monster again.
I had a great time there and would recommend Triple T Whitetails to anyone . If you want to get in on hunting during the rut, I think there are still some spots available. You can call Jeff at 217-653 7600. Just tell him you are a Red Sox fan and he will treat you right!!!!!



Head Shots
We both had close shots and if you have equipment you trust and are shooting within your skills why not take the game as quickly as possible. The less time the animal has to suffer the better I feel about the kill. This is the first time I have ever hunted from a tree stand and When I saw the angle on the target taking out the animals nervous system seem to be the logical and humane choice


I also want to congratulate Kendall Achy who is one of my Pa . TEAM TURBO Shooters. Kendall just took a 204 lb seven point in Sullivan County Pa. The old fashin way. on the ground.
Kendal is 18 yrs old and this is his second deer with a TURBO.

I have attached an image of his deer at the end of the photos.
