Great afternoon, I hunt behind my brother in laws house and have been hunting with one of his neighbors for the past two years. His neighbor had taken deer with a rifle as a kid but never with a bow. That all changed today, he had a doe with two fawns in front of him early and decided to let them walk. At around 5 o’clock my phone rang and it was him. He was whispering and said he shot a big spike. He told me he shot and missed and then shot again because it didn’t spook. He said the 2nd shot was high just under the spine. I told him to stay in his stand and that I would be over shortly. When I got there I could only find one arrow. The arrow I found was a for sure miss. 20 yards or so past that arrow I found some bright red blood. I for sure thought we were following a muscle hit but got on it any way. We followed spotty blood for about 150 yards before loosing blood. We made some small circles and got back on the trail. 50 yards later there he was. A solid 3 PT. After looking at the shot it was high and back and quartering too. The arrow was still sticking out of the buck. I made quick work of dressing it and he is on his way to the butcher.. After some celebration and cleaning the deer I did take the time to explain to him that he got lucky and why he shouldn’t take shots at that angle in the future. He is very excited. May even get a mount so I left cape in tact for him Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The exact same spot and I also missed my target buck from this spot, my buddy is about 300 yards away already passed on a doe and watched a bachelor group go by at 150 or so probably the same group we jumped on the way in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! Can’t wait to hear the story Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Up and in, bumped a bachelor group on the way in. Not thrilled about it but they went in a good direction so I’ll take it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not opening day in West Virginia where he lives Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A true Delmonico is actually the eye of the ribeye. It is the center heart with the spinalis muscle removed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems like a waste of valuable hunting time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Skippy crunchy but the wife buys Jiff smooth for the kid…. Pick your battles I guess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also who wouldn’t ask that question in my situation. It is a fair and valid question that should be asked before I went in there. The truth is not asking that question would be irresponsible. He should be comforted by the fact that I cared enough about his investment to ask Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Answered or copped out. I think my offer of a 3rd party holder was fair Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s not important, not trying to stir up old crap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why not we got a knuckle head from West Virginia on here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think biz summed it up for you. Most WNY people will say that deer is younger than it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flank ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make tartar from the filet trim Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s because he don’t know about hubbas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here he is from 2020 So I’m guessing 4.5-5.5 years old Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That I know for a fact you are wrong Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will be 20 yards to the right of where this deer is standing in this pic. Probably do a dark to dark 10/1 as he used this route both coming and going. I will have to get in very very early Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hit the jetty at Jones beach tonight, got into some smaller blues and caught the spacex launch on the walk in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This deer has been a topic of debate on this forum before. The velvet pic is last year the hard horn pic is this year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So should we call the pen a slaughter house not a farm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What business? Looks like you’re getting read to make dog toys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He’s also gone silent…. Shocker Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a experience. I agree there is almost no upside for me but seeing those big bucks would be cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
