First Deer With Bow!
Last night I took my first deer with a bow, it was unlike anything else Ive ever experienced.
She was coming down a hill towards my ground blind, when she hit my scent (The wind was swirling). She immediately got nervous, and started snort/wheezing. She moved her head behind a tree and continued to snort/wheeze, then I saw a two foot by two hole through the brush that centered over her shoulder and lungs. I drew on her, and as she finished another wheeze, I settled my thirty yard pin low on her chest. I dont remember touching the trigger, but the flew and hit with a hollow thud.
She made it just shy of 100 yards before it was all over. The blood trail was excellent, and the Magnus went through both lungs before stopping in an off rib. She dressed out at about 120#. So, it took four years of close calls before it all worked out, and it was more than worth it.
Please excusemy rambling...
