The weather around here has been very cold lately. So cold that nobody in their right mind would be out hunting.
 
Well, since i have never been accused of being in my right mind        I figured i might as well go to the woods. I was hunting on the edge of a green field from the ground. Anyone that knows me can tell ya that i ain't made for hunting on the ground. I move around way to much and i just don't have any confidence in it. This hunt was a kind of spur of the moment deal so i went to my cousins farm where he has permanent blind on the edge of a field. He has a problem with the deer destroying his crops and asked me to come over fill some crop damage tags for him. The blind was made for gun hunting but with the proper twisting i could shoot out of it.

I had been in the blind about 2 hours when i looked of to my left and a group of 8 does started coming into the field. I waited for them to move out in front of the blind where i could shoot. Finally this doe walked out broadside at 10 yards and gave me the shot i had been waiting for. The snuffer took out both lungs and she barely made it 60 yards before going down within sight.

I shot her with my Zipper recurve, easton axis 500 arrow with a 125gr snuffer. Total arrow weight was 399gr and i found the arrow burried in the ground about 10 yards behind her.    :D    
 

great job man  good shot  thats so cool

Nice, 2 below here. I wish we could still hunt in NY. Shawn

Nice goin Chad! Gotta love them Snuffers!

Way to go bud!!! Looks like you put the "proper twist" on her    

Around here we can only think about deer hunting

Way to go Chad! Fine table fare there and good shooting.

Way to go Chad!

10 yards, way cool, got to love bow hunting up close and personal, congrats, bet that warmed you up quick. Only getting to 62 today in Myrtle Beach.

That's awesome Chad! I didn't know you guys still had season in. Yep, I'd be wearing so many clothes I couldn't draw the bow.

Nice job Chad; lucky to live in a state where you can still hunt deer. On the plus side, we still have rabbits to hunt. If I ever connect I'll post a picture.

Way to go Chad!!  I've always said it takes a special kind of effort to kill those late season deer.

BTW....Beautiful Zipper there bud!!

That's cool bro!! Amazing that arrow didn't bounce off her what with it's light weight and the dreaded big multiblade up front.      :D

That's good Charlie    :rolleyes:    :D    

Sweet!!!!!! way to go CHAD!!!!!                a fire and cup of Joe to warm ya up...          

Good job Chad and you still have some time left yet for some more. Lucky dog.

Nice going, i hate it when it gets real cold but given a chance i would be out in it to hunt deer. Here in western NY season has been over for awhile, probably a good thing for my marriage and family cause if it's open I'm going no matter what.

By the way.... really love the second picture.              

Way to go Chad, great job.  I think if you check
you'd find more than one nut around here that would be right out there with you if they had the chance!    :cool:
