Good News...Bad News
I took 1/2 a day off yesterday to hunt my brothers farm. I got set up @ 1:00 and saw nothing until around 5:00 when 2 deer fed through a feild above me. Well at about 5:30 I hear something moving my way and I turn to see what I thought was a doe trotting across a ditchon a trail that will bring her right by me. I turn and get my bow out of the holder and prepare for the shot.when the deer hits a opening I'm at full draw and bawl and stop it. I settled the pin and touched the trigger for a perfect double lung shot. The deer turns and runs back the way that it came for about 50 yards and stops and falls. I get down and get my stuff together and walk over to the deer only to see that it's actually a spike. My first thought is this isn't going to help my team, but I was happywith the kill. Sorry team.

RE: Good News...Bad News
Congrats anyway!! Did you have to put a buck tag on it or is it considered anterless?

RE: Good News...Bad News
HC..In WV we get three tags and can kill 2 buck so I still have 1 tag that I can use on a buck. I was very happy with the deer but that kills my team.

What did he score?:D No hard feelings on my side. Thats Bowhunting! Look on the bright side, thats 2 bucks down for our team 11. Your also a honest man gutshot! You could have sandbaged the spike and used your other buck tag for the contest! You will be rewarded in the future Buddy! Book it! Congrats on your Monster Spike!
