Default RE: Official Team "The Shafts" (11) Thread

Ok guys I have to get another pic tomm. with my bow in one but here is my entry. I just want you all to know I traveled 1100 miles on a trip to Wisconsin in Nicolet National Forest to try and get a nice one for our team and came up empty, turns out I had a nice one waitin' for me right in my own back yard.

Story:
I was determined to go hunting in the morning, was gonna be the coolest morning yet and prerut has started so I figured ok. Set my alarm, my coffee and was ready. Well, after tossin' and turnin all night I reached over shut the alarm off and said the heck with it im not getting up. Well something woke me up 4 more times and the last time was at 5:30am so I said well maybe I better go after all! So I rushed out and jumped in my wifes ladder stand which I had placed right in the middle of our "Rut Alley" right as first light was upon me. At 6:30 laid out some grunts.. nothin', 7 rattled and grunted...nothin' 7:30 saw 3 deer working parallel from me at 80 yards so I laid out a grunt and one turned and came a comin' straight at me. Being only 12 feet up with the sun in my face I never thought the deer would let me get the bow back so I drew slowly, he turned at 22 yards, I bleated to stop, he didnt so I gave it to him louder he stopped, I dropped the bead on him and let it go. I saw the arrow dissappear behind the shoulder and watched him go but over and ball up 50 yards out. End result, this baby right here!!! I havent scored him yet but he should be pretty good.

What should I do once I have the pic with my bow in it and the score?

Please inform so I make sure it counts for our team.
Later.
