NJ Winter Bow 8pt down

[nycredneck]

With the Winter Bow season open till Feb 20th and 24" of snow that fell the week befor I headed to my stand hoping for a nice doe for the freezer. A group of deer came by from several trails and I spotted a good size doe limping into one of my shooting lanes, I drew back and just as I was about to shoot I noticed this buck trotting in on the same trail, so I held my draw while aiming on the same spot and when he was in my sight I let fly my arrow. It was a double lung and he ran 80 yards spaying blood on both sides of the trail in the snow, stopped and tipped over. When I got there it looked like someone threw a bucket of red paint on the snow. I am truly blessed and look forward to sharing this bounty with friends and family.

Congrats!

Nice to see hunting stories outside of NY in the offseason. Seems like barely any members hunt other states.

Nice deer. Seeing as no one else has asked, I will. What of the limping doe?

The doe was obviously limping because the buck was probably well endowed.

great buck and a great shot with the bow...what bow. pounds and draw length...also arrow and bh  ?

Poor doe had a right front broken leg and was getting around but leg was flopping about 3/4 way down. I am going back out a few more times and will try to take her out if I can, deer are a tough animal and I've seen several different three legged deer in woods. Come to think about it most, if not all, had a right front leg issue... strange. 

 My bow is a 2012 Elite Pure 55-65lbs 31.5"DL shooting Black Eagle Rampage arrows tipped with ole' school Muzzy 100gr fixed.

Ha Ha,  snow fell the  week before, you did not read the first sentence correctly. Plus that's not my driveway. LOL

Good luck, and hope you encounter that doe again.

I'm going out in the AM to look for Limpy. She will get an arrow if she wanders by.

Wow, I didn't know deer hunting went this late anywhere. Although I have never looked into either. That's a beautiful deer anytime of year in my book! Congrats and good luck with the doe!
