My Christmas Present!
 

Wow! I finally got a deer with my bow! I thought I was shooting at a 10 pointer but got this weird one instead. On X-Mas Morning! He caught me literally with my pants down. A weird series of events left me having to take a leak from my stand. At 7:45 AM, I had just finished taking a leak and had just retreated through 4 layers of cloths, and there he was. Twelve yards away on a trail behind me. I saw 5 on one side and a g-2 with a sticker, and said "grab your bow". The bow was behind me and when I turned to get it, the safety belt hung up. I ripped it around me, he heard it and stopped with his head behind a bush. I grabbed my bow and got it on the other side of the tree and he was still standing there. There was a large limb between us and I used it to draw behind. Once at full draw, I crouched slowly until I could see his vitals. Centered my pin and shot. Nice double lung, he went 46 yards and fell over. What a great hunt! I think it was my 75th hunt. I certainly put in the time. Started to get weary. But I knew that I couldn't get one from my livingroom.

Merry Christmas to all!;)

RE: My Christmas Present!
 

Yeah, I'm an old fart and a cheap one at that! I've had that coat for 20 years. Been thinking about getting a new one, but that one is so...so LUCKY! ;)You know what I mean?

RE: My Christmas Present!
 

Greg, Congrats on the great buck, He's got some Character to him! Is that new Treebark (old pattern). I seen where Jim is bringing it back out on the market. I'm still wearing the old Fratzke Winona Camo, Some of it is over 25 years old, you just can't wear it out, and never faids, Well all except for the lined vest, and lined zip up sweaters, I need about a 3" extenchion for them to get around my gut!!! Again Congrats on the Buck, and have a Great Christmas.

Way to go Greg that is one cool looking buck!!!!! I really like that rack one of a kind. great story also, I lengthened my saftey harness just a tad because of the same reason. Really nice to read all of the hunts from people good or bad, all the ones that you let walk and finally score. 46yds, he didn't go far,love it when they drop that quick.
