My season so far.

Post by slider »

Started to bowhunt last year in December and loved it.

Now have 2 great properties and 2 trail cams as well as 6 stands.

I am very novice but this forum has taught me so much.

2 deer harvested in Oct.

This is the first...a fine eating button buck...20 yard shot....60 yard recovery...double lung.Image

My 2nd was a spike buck that I was able to grunt closer on a hydro cut as he would stop and paw the ground as he came in. My shot was bad through both front legs. I gave the deer one hour and had a great blood trail on a 300 yard recovery.....I was very lucky that he died of massive blood loss.

My 2 favorite trail cam pics so far....

I am off to 54B for the gun hunt with my best friend today but can not wait to get back to my bow stands in Huron County!
