I have been hunting a certain buck on my little ranch (Kicking Rock Ranch) really hard for the last couple weeks. I had a bunch of trail cam pics of him, but just did not fully appreciate him till I saw him in person. The first day I saw him, I decided he was the one I wanted for this year. I also told my wife that I would be hunting every day in October till I got a crack at him. Here is a pic of him:

Well, I've seen him several times, and we've played cat-n-mouse every time. So far, he has won out.
It's been wearing me out too, and I haven't seen him in about 4 days! Yesterday, I decided the heck with it, I'm gonna shoot the first doe that gives me a chance. I just switched arrows, and went to 2" 4-fletch, and was itching to try them out on a critter.
Anyway, this afternoon, a nice doe gave me the opportunity I was after. She turned a little quartering away at about 12yds. I got to anchor, and let it fly. I didn't see the arrow hit, but she tore out of there and I watched her topple over dead about 35yds from where I shot her.

The shot was near perfect!

I waited till after dark and took my dog Zeke down there to find her. He covered it and was on her in about 2 seconds. Not much of a challenge, but I try to put him on every real critter I can!!!
I shot her with my new Primal Tech takedown longbow, .400 spine Widowmaker Smash arrows with 4-2" feathers, and a 150gr German Kinetic Silverflame XL broadhead!

Congrats Bosch,
I haven't been within 75 yards of a deer yet. Only out twice lots of corn around.
Good job, Bisch! Glad you put some meat in the freezer and you no longer have to worry about having dry bread around the house.

:clapper: well done
Great shot Bisch!
Nice shooting Bisch - that buck is in trouble!
Beautiful shot. I see why they call that broad head an XL—what an exit hole!
Best of luck on that buck.
:thumbsup: Would love to hear a little detail about your ranch.

It's small (122ac), but all I could afford! Kicking Rock Ranch is just outside of Sonora, TX. It's a beautiful area of west TX!!!!
Bisch
Congratulations!
Great shot placement
You done good...really good!
That's not too small. It is fun to have your own place to hunt and work.
A great start to the season!
Well done :thumbsup:

Had another run in with him tonight, but still no shot! Rifle season opens on Sat, and I am leaving for KS on Wednesday. I hope he is smart enough to stay alive till I get back home!!!!!
