The Hunting Gods were kind again yesterday evening.I asked for the JetSled last Christmas and my wonderful kids gave it to me. I thought it was great hauling the doe to my truck ! I did put one of those padded large carabiners on the rope to save my hand from rope burn.Flat ground and a logging trail so not sure how this would be pulling uphill. Happy to have the venison. Good luck everyone and stay safe.(Sorry for the crappy picture).

Sat about 4 PM, already had 2 doe and a fawn in the field but i made it up undetected. At about 5:45 a fawn cam running across the field by herself and not being followed about 150 yards out. At 6 PM i had 4-8 deer running full speed behind my stand by me, and they they all stopped directly down wind. 2 doe and 2 spikes walked out right under my stand and started browsing. I could see one more deer in the woods and confirmed it was a fawn. Picked the Doe at 8 yards and sent a Magnus black hornet through her shoulder and out her heart. She mule kicked, stomping and breaking my arrow, ran through the rock wall breaking her back leg, and crashed after 50 yards. Broadhead is unscathed and getting sharpened now!

Oh damn what happened to the rest of Tacks body? All I see is two disembodied hands and a floating head! At least he had the last laugh after it destroyed his thumb. Hopefully he found it in the gut pile

Ouch. And you're probably gonna need a stitch or two. Or at the very least some superglue

On the board!

Opening day I bumped this one out of his bed and found active scrapes in his area.  Sunday evening I caught him and another real big one entering a bean field and have a good idea what the travel route is from the bedding area to the feeding area... so last night I had a pretty good wind and I decided to set up on the travel route to the bean field... the route connects a crp field to the bean field through a narrow strip of hardwoods.  I set up about 10 yds inside the the field edge, well brushed in and facing the travel route.  About 6:15, I turn around to look out into the field and there he is!  He snuck in behind me!  I have no shot and he is too far away .  I know I have to move to the field edge and get in a spot where I can shoot without being seen, I found the spot I needed to move to then waited for him to put his head down into the beans.  Every time his head went down, I took a baby step towards the edge.  Eventually  I made it to where I had to be and as luck would have it, he is feeding toward my shooting opening and after what seemed like forever, he was there.  I drew and hit the release just as he started to walk again the the arrow hit him ... he turned away and took a few rapid steps then went down.  Im flipping out now cause I know it was a bad shot, but he is down and trying to get up but he cant,, so I watch him intently and within two minutes his head went down and he expired.   34 yd shot

Now I realize that I am not going to be able to  get him out of here myself.  I made a post in Live from the woods to see if anybody was nearby because I need some help!  

Then TF calls me and is on the way... Tacks is looking for help for me, Larry is giving high fives,  Moho is pumped, Zeke is offering help, Andrew is all in for a drag... Ill tell you that we have the finest group of like minded people on here and that makes this the very best part of the hunt!

Andrew took the pictures... great job and he is a dragging machine along with Jay... I just cannot give enough thanks  to this group for support and help!  And, This is a certified GTG!

On the public from the ground to boot

Quick recap from this AM. Shortly after light I was sitting in my climber and a blonde coyote appeared at 25 yds coming right to me. I couldn't move quick enough and he got past me, I lip squeaked and he stopped but not long enough. He disappeared for 10 seconds and deer blew out everywhere. They worked behind me a few at a time. The first few sets of deer were does with fawns so I passed. Finally toward the back I saw a big lone doe walking out around 50 yds. She got in the open and just stood there. I ranged her at exactly 50 yds, then decided I didn't want to shoot that far. 3-4 minutes passed and she still hasn't moved but being behind me I couldn't angle around my tree enough. I decided to swivel my climber around the tree a few inches at a time. I did that and she still hasn't moved, perfectly broadside. I ranged her again, 50. I moved my sight pin and decided I'd draw back and settle the pin and if I didn't feel comfortable I'd let down. Well I settled good so I let it fly. Hit her a few inches high but it exited right behind her offside shoulder. She hit the ground, stood back up for 10 seconds and tipped over right there. Meanwhile I'm still surrounded by deer. As I'm waiting for the deer to work off I notice a 2 yr old buck coming in to 20 yds. I took a few pics as he went by and waited for him to leave and got down. All of this before 8AM!

I posted the story in our journal thread under sons first season but thought I’d post a pic here of his first deer for anyone who didn’t see it in the thread. I’ve been blown away by the fact that my 12yr old can bring home meat for table. Crazy and so proud!
