One down

[schroon87]

Hey guys just found this site searching the web and figured i would share my story from a few days ago.

It the woods on Thursday around noon and decided to sit in my new stand down in a swamp where i have seen big deer in the past. Before getting into the stand i put out a few shot from a buck bomb in the areas of all my shooting lanes. From my stand i can see another oak ridge on the other side of the creek and i could see some deer but couldnt tell what they were. After watching them for 30 min or so something caught my eye to my left in the thick brush of the swamp. All i could see is a white tail and then it was gone. After searching through the brush trying to catch another glimpse of him i caught a shot of horns. I got my self ready for a possible shot sicne he was walking my way and then he came right into my lane, put the pin on him and let one fly. Deer took right off and jumped the creek and i could hear him trying to get up the other side but he never did. Gave him a hour and got downa nd started looking for my arrow and blood but i couldnt find either. I crossed the creek and 30 yards away from my stand he was balled up at the base of a tree, the same exact spot my buck from last year died. Turned out to be a 3 pointer with a nice build. Wasnt a huge deer my any means, but after missing the last two years i can finally say i took a deer with the bow. I have put in alot of time during the bow season with nothing to show for it until now and boy does it feel great. Good luck out there guys, the rut seems to really begining to fire up. Shoot straight

Good job. Congratulations. I finally got a hit on a deer myself with the bow,(after 4 years of bow hunting) unfortunately I think rookie mistakes caused me to bump him while tracking, and my blood trail went cold after about 400 yards(no exageration)....7 hours of searching and nothing to show for it except one bloody arrow and sore legs. Thinking about going back and searching more, but I feel its bleek at this point.

But enough of my sob story.

Good Job.
