RE: Official Team "The Big 10 " (10) Thread
Sorry Ive been gone my computer has been virus infested. I also got one, Sunday October 24 I believe. A "nice" yearling 4 pointer, bigger than your standard little spike yearling, but obviously not a monster. It was my first buck ever with a bow so I was pumped about it regardless of the score. The thing is, I dont have a scanner or digital camera, so I cant post a picture, BUT i can mail one to a team member with a scanner if possible. One other thing, I havent scored it yet as I cant see it making a significant difference in our score. If we are really in it somehow ( ihavent been keeping up with it lately) I can do it. That said, here is the story of how it happened.
Was roughly 9:00 a.m. and I had not yet seen a deer. Was starting to get hungry and thinking of getting down and sneaking in for a nap. I decided to reach for my quiver and put it back on my bow. As I attached my quiver, I caught the motion of a deer 35 yards away, but oblivious to me. The wind was perfect and he continued on his runway scent checking the air, keeping his head high. I had already unattached the quiver and re-nocked an arrow. As he came into my shooting lane 29 yards away I gave a little mouth bleat/grunt and he stopped perfectly in my lane. The shot looked absolutley perfect, and he took off up a ridge in front of my stand. He stopped on top of the hill and looked around. I was sure I had hit him. He stood for roughly ten seconds and his knees buckled and down he went. I was so excited I crashed through the cornfield back to the house. Not a monster buck by any means, but my first (with a bow) so I am happy.
