Late Season Deer (pics)

[funebonz880]

Well, today I got my first buck. I must've saw 60 deer by 9:20, which is when this guy snuck up on me. I decided I would take him and waited for him to come out into an opening at 22 yds. I let the mathews drenalin do her thing and boy oh boy did the G5 striker eat. He didn't go 25 yds. Good blood the whole way (not that I needed to track him.) After I gutting I noticed that it looked like I clipped a part of each lung and destroyed the heart. 2 more days of the season left, 1 tag to go, hopefully I can fill it.

Good job!

besides a button buck, this is my first buck. I passed on a couple 1.5 yr olds earlier in the season (two being 5/6 points), I needed some more meat so I took this guy, but probably should've let him go, but i'm happy with it. This is really the first of 4 deer that I can say i'm honestly happy with the shot I put on him.

Great job...I shot a spiker this bow season too because my hunting time was so limited but next year I'm going to scout harder and hold out for something nice. If I don't see anything by late season, I'll shoot does and let the smaller bucks grow.

You should be proud of that buck! I had killed 10 bucks before I passed on my first buck. As long as your proud of it wack and stack!

but probably should've let him go, but i'm happy with it.

Don't feel the need to apologize for the legal harvest of a fine buck. Congratulations to you. It's kinda cool how he fell on your front lawn too.

Ya it made loadin him in the truck a whole lot easier, dragging wasn't much of a problem either. :lol: Mom yelled at me for the gut pile near the mailbox though.

Any deer with a bow during the late season is an accomplishment!

Nice Buck, and good luck with the second tag! :)

awesome job.....nice buck

[steelhead007]

looks like his neck is really swelled out for being a smaller buck.late season bow kills are something to be proud of!!

[funebonz880]

the exit hole from that G5 Striker (which I got free from their promotional deal in the summer) really gives me confidence. I wasn't sure how those broadheads would perform, but they've taken two deer so I think i'll stick with them for a while.
