Wow sweet deer! Congrats......:)
How about some more details, gear?
Any pics with you guys and the deer with your bows? Those are 2 really nice deer to only have "Tailgate pics" [:-]

RE: What a hunt!
 

Thanks Matt/Pa! Sorry about no bows in the pictures . It was getting hot so we had stuck our gear in the shade . I forgot my camera at home or I would have taken pictures before the deer were loaded ;).
I was using a 1967 Red Wing Hunter 51lbs.@28 with a 530 grain carbon arrow. My friend Stan was shooting a Browning Rage twin cam compound 65lbs.@28 about a 400 grain carbon arrow.
It is my first recurve buck.

Since I haven't seen a deer closer than 60 yards yet this season, I'm suitably jealous. ;)Congratulations!

RE: What a hunt!
 

Thanks LBR, The compound bow will not even get out of the case this hunting season:D. I will even take a recurve when I hunt axis deer in January.
You did sell me a good first bow to get started on so I gotta give credit where it is due;).
I'm was real lucky Arthur P. Stan is a smoker. He puffs on a cigarette right until we get out of the truck to walk to out treeblinds[:'(] We both saw bucks fighting so they are definately wanting to rut. When the next good cold front comes through you should see alot more action. Thanks for the help you have given me on this forum, it made learning to shoot and set up my bow easier!

Nice pair of bucks.Congrats to you and friend.

RE: What a hunt!
 

Nice deer buddy, nice job.

RE: What a hunt!
 

Thanks recurver67 and bowtech die hard! My friend and I have bowhunted this property for 25 years. It was our best hunt so far.

RE: What a hunt!
 

That's certainly a day you will remember. Congratulations!

RE: What a hunt!
 

Thanks BobCo19-65!

RE: What a hunt!
 

My buddy and I had a day like that last year. Only the bucks around here don't grow too big.

RE: What a hunt!
 

BobCo, If that is an 8 ft. bed on the truck I think you did really good! Looks like a couple of big bodied mature bucks.

RE: What a hunt!
 

congrats on the great deer

RE: What a hunt!
 

Nice deer!! You really put it all together to take a buck like that! I shot over 2 bucks this weekend. When I found my arrow from the first one it was stuck in the ground in a place that should have taken his lungs out. These Okie deer want to duck when they hear my bowstring. Did you aim low or is there some technique you use to get the job done when the deer want to duck your arrows?

RE: What a hunt!
 

All you can do is make your bow as quiet as possible, then aim for the heart and hope to still get high lungs or spine if/when they duck. I don't believe in aiming low because, if you do, that'll be the one time they just stand there and let the arrow zip underneath 'em.
