Buckmaster7600

Thanks everyone, I don't want to take credit for the shot, although I practice a lot at long range I never would shoot an animal under different circumstances at that range. The shot that far at a bedded deer was a hail-marry and I got lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Around 3pm a guy from work calls me and tells me that he was tracking a buck jumped it and can't find anymore blood and asks what he should do. I knew where he hunted and said I wasn't doing anything and I would drive over to help. I get there and find out that his friend hit it last night and they couldn't find it so came back today around noon and jumped him. I find his bed and advance the blood trail another hundred yds and jump him again. I tell his buddy to go get his bow because he's hurt but still alive. He doesn't have his bow and neither does the other guy. So I go back to my truck and get my bow and start back on the blood and jump him again after another 150yds on very little blood and going very slow. This time he went down a bank across a creek and I think I can see him bedded on the other side about 200yds from where I'm standing. I tell them to stay here and I start sneaking around behind where I think he is bedded, he is there but because of terrain I couldn't get close without risking jumping him again and he is very close to a property line we couldn't cross. I range him at 86yds nock an arrow and let one fly I couldn't see for sure where I hit him but I knew I hit him he got up ran down into Creek towards me and never came out. I nocked another arrow and slowly made my way to the bank and found him dead in the water. I whistled to them and they came down we got him out of the water and am checking him over and that's when the excitement started. His arrow hit him in the armpit and came out the front of his leg hard angle away only hit shoulder never went in chest cavity. I think he would have died but not anytime soon but he was hurting pretty bad. My arrow hit him in the heart with about 10" of penetration. So after we see where his shot was he looks at me and says "you're going to have to tag him, I don't feel right tagging him because it was clearly you that killed him." Now to say I lost it would be an understatement of the century. I am generally a really calm easy going guy but I lost it. I said a lot of things I shouldn't have and walked to my truck. Now that I'm looking back on it after cooling down a while I guess he could have been genuine about it but I honestly don't care. It would have been different if he said "he's yours if you want him" or something like that but he didn't. The buck was a stud for our area a 125" "gross" 9pt but not a buck I would shoot this early in the season. I was pretty excited, we found it and I made the shot of a lifetime then this guy says that. In the end I have no clue what he did with the buck and really don't care, I did my part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm glad someone likes them, if it wasn't my dads I would have put it in the garbage the minute it became mine. Way too long way too heavy and way way too slow. It was cool killings critter with it and the same bolt that he killed his big 12pt in Ohio but it is the last time I will tote it to the woods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watched him fly down 200yds away from my stand, climbed down and put the stalk on him. Had to crawl last 30yds shot him at under 3yds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Switched it up and carried the old man's Xbow. Less than 3yd shot on the ground 10yd tracking job. Weighed 15lbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I winterized my mower the first week of September, if it don't cool down I'm going to have to bale my lawn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turkey down with the crossbow, on the ground, about a 9ft shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who turned on hunting season? 29deg. When I walked out the door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel like there is more to grow's story, I have a very hard time believing he was charged for a toy bat. Now if he was acting like an A hole during questioning that changes things... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are a ton of them in the ADK's north of tupper lake. When I was in a amp up there you would see them every hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did the other articles say "crowbar" or was it typo and supposed to be crossbow? This article could have been typed on a kindle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Given that I almost never sit it's unlikely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what I wear, light and quiet also packs down small. I have matching pants as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It finally feels like deer season out here, first time wearing my long undies all year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This took a weird turn, I'm with some others I'm not bow hunting in much rain at all, unless I'm still hunting. I don't know how anyone in this world can just sit there and get rained on. If I'm still hunting it doesn't bother me much but I'm still not hunting in a downpour. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

"Criminal possession of a weapon" is confusing me. Are bows not allowed to be owned in the city or is it only Xbows? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grab a pizza box and the new shells and shoot it. If it's off by a foot or by an inch it takes the same amount of time to re zero. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably but I couldn't even imagine not shooting it first. I'm assuming your talking about core cokt- we are talking less than 3$ to confirm it will hit the same. Cheap insurance in my book. I won't even hunt with the same ammo from a different box than I sighted in with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just realized I kind of sounded like an A hole, I was being sarcastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm glad you find my inability to sit humorous, an hr is about my absolute max I will ever sit in a stand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not I, I ended up driving home and getting the bow. I absolutely hate carrying a Xbow unless it's on my back. Too heavy, too wide, too cumbersome. Compound by the grip with stablizer along forearm is how I've carried it for 100's of miles. I can nock an arrow plenty fast for any bow show you're going to get still hunting.
