Title: I got it done this morning
Post by: Mjolnir on September 30, 2017, 12:26:00 PM
A buddy and I have been camping and hunting Ballard WMA in Western Kentucky for the past couple of days. I was lucky enough to take a nice doe this morning at 15 yards. I made a good shot and she just walked away with blood spraying out both sides. After 25 yards she flopped over. There were 3 other deer with her.

Enjoy some pictures. And keep at it. It's been 2 years since I've killed a deer.    (https://www.instagram.com/p/BZqsbLIDaos/)

You need to resize the pictures. On Imgur when you click on a picture and it opens up, in the bottom right corner there are thumbnail sizes listed. Click the one that says large thumbnails. You can go back and edit your post in here and it should be fine.

Y'all!
SERIOUSLY!!

FWIW...when you post pics from anywhere...delete the "s" from https in your link...."http" will get you a long ways down the road to a decent post!

The "s" in the link will almost always screw things up.  "s' indicates that the image comes from a "Secure Server"..which will not allow the Trad Gang server to automatically SiZe the image for the post.  As a result of not paying attention to this seemingly small thing, the whole thread can be screwed up to the point of being deleted.

I fixed this one and one yesterday...and a couple last week.  

Its time for y'all to police this. Before posting  to a thread that is messed up (format jammed to the right of yer screen, etc) alert the OP to eliminate the "s" in the links - or, if the OP is not able to tweak his/her post, PM me or any other mod/admin and we will be happy to do the simple fix for you.

Rock on!!     :wavey:

Congrats on a fine deer!

And if you don't mind what was your choice in equipment bow, broad head etc...

That appears to be a small hole, just curious on what head your using, thanks.

I been using a Simmons Tiger shark last few years and it leave a bigger hole than other heads i've used in the past.

In any case it got the job done!

I shoot a Bob Lee Signature takedown. 60"amo, 70#@28". I draw 29.5". Arrows are gt trad blems 7595. Broadheads are SS snuffers @125 grains. Total arrow weight is around 705gr. Honesty, I was surprised by the small size of the exit wound, but she died within 20 seconds.

Snuffer?  Wow I would have thought bigger hole, but that was a perfect double lung shot.

Congrats again on a fine deer and for getting it done!

It was the second deer I've killed with that set up. The first was a frontal shot and looked like I killed it with a machete. If the next one has smallish holes, I'll go with a bigger head. But, the two I've killed with this head have gone less than 50 yards total.
