MUZZY Does It Again!!!! 11point in NJ
Well, once again muzzy proves to me why they are the best broadheads on the market.
After a frustrating first 3 weeks of the NJ fall bow season the signs were all pointing to a nice buck on our property. The fellow who owns the property next to ours had told me of a nice rack with 4 does that had been coming out of our property and onto his at 8:30am every morning. So we set up in the area and had no luck for a week straight. The seemed to have moved further back into our property as the sign was all over the logging roads. Abandoning all the new spots we had found I went back to what is now known as "old reliable" which is a stand I found last season and took a buck and a doe in. I figured nothing else is working so I will go back to my original spot. The sign was all around there. Got on stand at 5 o'clock and settled in. At 6 I was listening to an annoying squirrel at my 1 o'clock position making a ruckus in the scrub brush and then it happened, mr. monster came strolling out of the thicket heading right for me at 3 o'clock. I drew on him when he was at 5 yards and under a small group of chestnut oaks, anticipating a shot a couple of seconds later he stopped to smell the roses, or me, hehe since he could have spit on the base of my tree. So I waited, and waited, and waited. Now im getting weak from holding and was desperatly searching for and opening in the branches to fire through cause I couldnt hold and longer, then he takes 2 steps and he in the clear, I pinned him and fired. He stammered away knocking everything in path over and disappears. I call my brother who is hunting 150 yards from in the direction the deer ran off and told him what happened, he heard something running and readied his bow expecting to see something but then heard a loud crash and the woods became silent again. Sure enough he crashed out. When we found him my MUZZY 115's had blew through the front shoulder hit a lung and the the heart and passed through and out the other side leaving only the fletchings inside of the deer because of the stepp trajectory of the arrow. I thougt this boy was only a 6 or 7 point cause I couldnt really get a good look at the horns from my angles. Turned out 11 points were on that rack and I had now taken the best buck of my 15 year hunting career. The pictures can be found here. http://www.hunting-pictures.com/memb.../gallery1.html
Like NJbowhunter said, here in NJ we dont see that many big bucks so this one is a dandy. He only weighed 130lbs dressed but he is only 2.5 or 3.5 years old.
