Title: Closed out the buck season tonight
Post by: 9 Shocks on January 06, 2020, 10:59:24 PM
At 5:20pm this buck came off the ridge and into the field to eat.  He stepped on the field edge and I drew back and tried to stop him with a bleat.  He kept walking and then stopped quartering away. Was focusing on the spot in the dying light and released.  Focused too hard and didn't notice some brush and shot between 2 skinny scrub trees.  Well a small limb must've knocked my arrow mid flight and 10 yards into a 15 yard shoot took a hard right and hit the deer in the spine.  He dropped and was bleeding a ton.  It appeared I clipped the aortic artery because he was really bleeding.  He rolled down 5 yards from the tree and I followed it up with a 2nd shot.  Glad It worked out.  Small limb be damned I'm happy it didn't go worse.
