Lefty hits the dirt!

Post by goosesmasher »

I got out for a quick hunt this afternoon after work and what a hunt it was! I was in my tree stand and set up at 3:07 .I had barely settled in when this nice buck came walking along right in front of me.When he got to 17 yards and he was in my shooting lane I sent the broadhead his way and it hit him perfectly quartering away through both lungs! He wobbled his way out into the field and I saw him drop.The time was 3:20 when I looked at my watch after he was already down.The bolt was stuck into the ground up to the fletching even after passing through the buck.I saw this buck back in september and he was a nice wide 8,a solid three year old.Today he was a post rut battle weary warrior with two broken brow tines and a broken main beam.Lots of guys would have passed this guy but he looked fine to me and I think he has a ton of character!

Congrats on the deer. Looks to be a heavy weight. I like the short hunts also. My rifle hunt this year was 45 min. :D

I think he's great!! A fighter like that, you can bet he's passed on his genes. Probably to a lot of little does!
