It's almost that time of year, boys and girls. Post pics of your 2012-2013 bow kills in this thread. Good luck.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

I'm glad someone in Ga is seeing some deer.
Congrats! |

I usually kill 2-3 a year with the rifle but bowhunting has always been my weakness. Thanks !!1

I've been out a few times starting on Saturday and haven't seen anything yet, although it has been VERY windy and stormy. I have footage of a nice doe hitting my food plot yesterday at 2:50 yesterday afternoon while I was at work. Hopefully she comes back on Saturday!

5 point with my Mathews Switchback XT. 16 yards shot from the ground sitting behind my GhostBlind. Here is the story: Walking around this afternoon looking for a good spot, found a heavily rubbed run on the edge of the marsh, with runs going into the marsh. and a parallel run. Set the blind up on the downwind side and cut some shooting lanes, it is very thick with brier. He strolled by 30 minutes before sunset. Walked right toward me then turned broadside on the run. When his head went behind a tree I drew. When he stepped out past the tree, he stopped and I let it rip. It looked like a perfect double lung shot 2 inches behind the right shoulder. He dropped in his tracks. Because I was sitting down the arrow had an upward trajectory went through his right lung and embedded in his spine and paralyzed his back legs. ( it was a level shot, somehow the arrow deflected up into the spine. I knocked another arrow at 5 feet and aimed for his heart. I did not take into account that the sight is above the arrow and hit his gut. I knocked my last arrow, aimed properly and put it into his heart. He was dead 15 seconds later. He was looking right at me with his head up on the last 2 arrows I have to say, I did not like watching him trying to run on his front legs going around on the ground in circles, nor killing him while he was looking at me. ( thread about the deflection here) |

That was a spike, this one is a 5 point, so I am moving up. I have passed up several shots because they were not optimum, striving for a quick human kill or I don't take the shot. I thought this was a perfect quick kill shot. I just did not realize the arrow had an upward trajectory, I did not take that into account. Last year I stood up, this year I stayed seated to shoot. Eta. There was no upward trajectory of the arrow,mit must have deflected off a rib. |

You weighed that deer on a scale? Nice buck by the way

Loud mouthed loose cannon.....Now with more ammo

I have a scale that hooks to the gambrel on one side the hooks to the rope on the opposite end once you hoist em up you get the weight. Our scale goes to 400 pounds. Not sure what its real purpose is but has been handy for weighing deer

I'll call this deer "Lucky" because I was not aiming for the neck.....
