Riverbottom set GETS IT DONE!! BBD!! (PICS ADDED)
Oh my gosh ya'll, I don't even know where to start.....Pictures will be later this evening, I'm still working on some business here, so I'll hit the hightlites....
North wind today, perfect for the riverbottom. I get the woods about 6, but got a bit disoriented and couldn't locate my tree......So I sat my butt down and waited till I could see better. Well, I was only about 20 yards from it, and by 7:10 I was up the tree, situated. I just hung my bow on the hook, sat down, and literally 2 minutes later I hear a deer walking. I look up, and there he is, right in front of me at 25 yards...at 20, he stops and looks at me. Now ya'll, this is where good camo is worth it's weight IN GOLD.....My Enigma had him baffled.....He looked at me for about 5 minutes, but never really got nervous. Then he turned and proceeded to walk downwind, presumably to catch a whiff of what he sees in the tree..... When he turned, he walked behind a huge cottonwood, and I stood and drew all in one motion. He stepped out from behind the tree, and the Vectrix ate it's lunch!!! I hit him high in the shoulder, and he dropped like a stone. Wasn't happy about the shot, but the 2 follow up shots were in the money.....:eek: In case you didnt' catch that, I panicked a little bit and shot that big boy 3 times....Just to make sure.....He expired very shortly thereafter..... So in summary, I climbed my tree at 7:05, and by 7:15 I had my first ever archery buck!! And a mature 8 pointer at that, I couldn't be happier. I have SOOOO much more to say, and will tell all in an upcoming field journal entry. Again, I'll post photos this evening. I want to thank absolutely everyone here for always being encouraging, and there is nothing more fun than sharing this with all of you, my friends. It's been a rough week, but this sure is sweet!! I do want to say a couple of specific thanks. First, to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who, without him, would NONE of this be possible. Secondly, buckeye, buddy, you've sat on IM with me for so many hours these last couple of years....You've always been ready with a bit of advice, or just to listen to me ramble. I wish you could have been here bud...... There are many, many more.....and my journal entry will be much more envolved. Sorry bout the pics, I just can't do it from here. EDIT: Here he is folks......Not the best pics, but my wife is still an amateur...  |

So around 8:30 am EST I look at my phone..... Missed call from Don and.... a voicemail from Don.....Now that could only mean 2 things.... 1 he just wanted to hear my voice or 2.... He shot a buck...... Luckily for us it was the latter!
 Way to go bro, I am super pumped for you.... That's a hell of a buck to start out on man :D Now uhhh..... More pictures!  |
RE: Riverbottom set GETS IT DONE!! BBD!! (PICS ADDED)
You gotta be kidding right ... I just don't believe it , why I thought you didn't know what a buck looks like.
Really with all joking aside ... I send you my hearty congrats to you , everyone had been saying this was your year and sure enough you proved them right. That sure is a nice buck indeed and reguardless how many times you had to shoot it, you bought the big boy down. You did yourself proud young jedi , your master Germ would be proud of you too just as much as I am and I'm very happy for you. Congrats again ... you did a fine job. |
RE: Riverbottom set GETS IT DONE!! BBD!! (PICS ADDED)

Way to go Mobow! |
RE: Riverbottom set GETS IT DONE!! BBD!! (PICS ADDED)
I love it when a plan comes together. Way to go.

RE: Riverbottom set GETS IT DONE!! BBD!!
Holy moly????? I knew it was your year you can only go so many decades without shooting a big buck[8D]. I know you deserve it buddy. You did your homework and took him down. This makes me about as happy as ifI killedthe deer.
