It's only a matter of time Eddie. Most of my pics of bucks were in day last check on Friday. If you're in Geneseo area I'm not far from there.

Got to the stand late a doe and a fawn in the field in front of my tree stand can't believe they didn't spook with all the noise I made in the leaves getting in my stand

Currently sitting in my little honey hole in 7F. First time here in a year. Have a doe feeding 148 yards out and a few more up towards house. 

 

Always good just just to see deer.

Any chance that's Erwin State Forest?  Looks like a spot I got my Blazer stuck once.

Scratch that, thinking of a spot in the Northern zone.

Belated in a 4 point and a hour later a doe, let them both pass.

[upstate]

took a busted up 4 point with a gimp with crossbow. It's an ok way to burn my tag. Back leg looked like it had been broken a while ago. 

Had him try and chase the doe in the field and then began making scrapes 50 yards in front of me. I decided if he cut through my island of trees I'd take a shot. 

He was 40 yards out and stopped behind a tree. All I had was head, neck and boiler room available so I aimed at boiler room and let the Excalibur roar (my god they're loud). He hunched and bolted out into field, tail down. He stopped about 20 yards out and I expected him to fall over. Then he ran over a knob and I lost him but never saw him cross field.  

I wait 30 minutes and go try to find arrow. Took a while and I find it about 20 feet past where he was and off to the right about 15 feet to right of where I expected.  Its covered in tallow, no guts (thank you!) and there's a few drops of blood in leaves, bright red.  I decide to see if I can find blood in an open field , in the dark now.  

It took about 3-4 minutes and there was lots. Tracked about 50 yards and there he was, with a hole in his hind quarter and evidence he bled out from a femoral artery hit. It must have hit something cause I could not even see his back legs when I shot.

2015 sucked for  me , saw 2 deer during gun, and nothing within 75 yards during bow so I decided it was freezer time.  

[wolc123]

Was he quartering to you at the shot?  The buck I shot at a 20 yard range with my Barnett recruit yesterday was quartering to me and he also up with a hole in his hind quarter thru the femoral, where the bolt exited.   It entered just behind the front shoulder and passed diagonally thru his body, then buried about 2" deep into the ground behind him.  I was real surprised to get that much penetration from this entry-level, 300 fps setup.  I used a mechanical, o-ring type, 3 blade broadhead that cut a 2-1/2" diameter swath all the way thru.   I only got 8" of penetration into the prior deer I shot at (two years ago) with this setup, but fortunately that took the bolt all the way thru his heart and he did not go far.  The range on that one was 59 yards.    

The one yesterday hobbled off, dragging the damaged leg after the hit.  I wondered why he was dragging a leg when I had aimed at his chest, not suspecting the exit wound.    He walked out across an open field but only made it about 50 yards before falling down.  I only had a few minutes before legal sunset, so I got down, loaded another bolt, and walked up to him immediately after he stopped moving.  He was dead when I got there.     

[upstate]

wolc 123- he was broadside. I didn't see the bolt hit anything on the way but honestly, every time I shoot that Excalibur I am shocked at the sound and motion. I know one thing, I got lucky. I'll post results since he'll hang tonight and with warmth tomorrow I'll get him skinned and cut up.

The recruit is so much more powerful then you would ever imagine. I watched my buddy last year shoot one with a recruit and it went through both front shoulders no problem and dropped the deer pretty much where it stood I think she went a total
Of 10 yards
