Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Finally, I had the right wind to go out to the stand that I had been waiting to hunt. A 60 acre piece of woods that funnels down to a sugar beet field at the east end of it. I got their plenty early, and went right to the spot I had scouted earlier. 3 well-pounded trails converged their, and there were 3 scrapes within 20 yards as well.

I had just put my stand up in the tree I had pre-selected earlier and gotten settled in, when I hear some deer approaching. A doe and a fawn went by, and I let them walk. About an hour later, I heard another deer approaching on a different trail, one that did not work very well with the wind that I had. It was a 7-pter that was on the smallish side, and I had decided to let him walk as well. Then I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye, and it was a nice 8 pointer coming down the same trail as the 7. I let the smaller buck go by, and when he got 20 yards past me, he stopped. Clearly he was smelling me, as he started doing the typical foot stomp. This froze the big 8 behind him as well, but fortunately for me, he stopped directly broadside to me in an open shooting lane. I was already at full draw, so I picked a spot, and proceeded to put my Acc 3-60 right through both lungs. At the shot he made a half-circle around to the front of me, and stopped not 20 yds. away. He was clearly mortally wounded, as he was starting to sway and his legs were buckling, but I wanted to take no chances, so I grabbed another arrow out of my quiver and shot him again. Another pass through in the vitals, and just fell over when the arrow hit him.

As I went over to admire my deer, and looked for the entrance and exit holes, I only found one entrance and exit hole. Yep, I had hit him in exactly the same spot going in, and it had exited in the same hole as well. Now that's the ultimate robin hood.

For those that care, I was using a Bowtech BK2, 60 lbs., 425 gr. arrow at 270 fps tipped with Rocky Snypers, generating 69 lbs of KE. Both shots were easily pass throughs, but I wasn't too impressed with the entrance and exit holes the snypers made. I think I'll be going back to my Jak-Hammers.

Rod,
Congrats! thats a great story and great deer!
Nice clear pic too......Team BowTech is layin em' down.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
And here's an interesting fact for ya speaking of &quot;Robinhoods&quot; The shaft I killed my buck with last week was with the back end of a &quot;Robinhood&quot; that I yanked apart to use for good luck! First shot with it after i pulled it apart was a buck!(Who says pulling them is bad luck!)
Way to go on your &quot;Robinhood&quot;, very nice buck.

Rod,

Awesome DEER!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

And a great pic too! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

You guys are making me jealous...I don't know if I can live up to the hunting success &quot;Team Bowtech&quot; is having this year...I've got a helluva bruiser in my area, I had him at 10 yards the other night in my yard...unfortunately my season has not started yet..going out Friday morning...

Again, excellent deer!

HotLZ, very nice deer & great pic. I'm working on an Ohio bruiser for the team. He's around, just keeping a low profile right now. Soon, soon.

&quot;Could you guys be quiet, my dad's trying to shoot.&quot;<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Nice Buck! I just put my second deer down Saturday with my Bowtech Patriot. It was a 235 lb. dressed 12 pt. buck. I agree about the Wasp Jackhammers. They are devistating! Your Black Knight and my Patriot deliver some serious punch. Jackhammers are the way to go!

Good Luck!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Thanks guys. I think out of the 35 or so deer that I've shot with a bow, I have taken two that would score higher. But he's a nice buck, and to top it off, a buddy of mine is going to do a shoulder mount for me for only $150, and he does good work. Can't beat that deal.

TrapperDave,

The digicam is a Kodak dx3600 2.1 MP camera. It really takes nics pics, and is a super simple, no frills camera. I also have a dx4800, and that takes 3.1 MP pics, and it is really sweet as well.

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Excellent picture - and a super buck - congratulations!

Sorry to hear the Snypers didnt leave a large wound channel - how was the blood trail? I know it didn't go far - but I'm curious.

The buck I shot this year had a huge wound channel going in (did not exit - lodged in the brisket - close straight down shot) but I think it hit a leaf a couple feet before the deer - so it may have already opened - I'm not sure.

Anyway - Great buck - good luck the rest of the year.

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

A real beauty Congrats.............

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Congratulations Rod. That is a dandy buck and a beautiful pic...though we need to work on your choice of camo...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

That is one awesome buck. Congrats!!

But after reading the last post I read, I am not sure if he is an 8 pointer or a 4 pointer.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I am so confused.

Frank,

What are you talking about? I've got it all: Timber ghost pants, realtree jacket, and predator hat. It's mix and match at it's finest!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Team Bowtech strikes again!
 

Hey, cuz I see you still have to wear those Ice Fishing weights on the top left pocket to have any luck at all. I like the pink one but maybe you should paint a camo pattern on it. Oh by the way I did take a nice picture didn't I.
