Well I got my first buck this morning. I was in my stand around 6am, everything was coming alive. It was nice & fogie as the deer walked in to my area. I could just make out the shape of a deer. He stayed around for a good 1/2hr.. When it was light enuff to see that the deer was a buck I got up & ready. At that time I saw He was a 3 pointer. I was watching him, and He gave me a great broadside shoot, I had to take it. He took off up the hill from me & ran about 60yards or so. I sat in my treestand for about 15 minutes, then I got down to look for blood...BTW I did hear he crash   :thumbsup:  

As at was looking & found the first signs of blood that got bigger every step I took.. I found my broken arrow that looked like a red shafted arrow, lots of blood.... As I was walking up the hill I saw he laying under my other treestand & 20yards from my groundblind...

This is my first buck with a trad bow & He is my trophy...   :archer:      :goldtooth:      :jumper:  
 
He may be small, But His BackStraps where great... I just wanted to shair this with my TradFamily...

P.S. Thanks to Terry's part on TRADGANG DVD... Your pointer worked great for me... Thanx Terry

Beautiful! Any deer with a bow is a trophy in my book. Well done!
From the location of the wound on his side I'd say you made a perfect shot.Is that entry or exit that we can see in the pic?
There sure is alot of air around a squirrel...eeyup.

Thats where the arrow entered... My Ash 60-65# 27"BOP Deer killer arrow Had a Magnus Snuffer 160grn 3-Blade took out both lunges & the Heart... The other side on the exit hole was nothing but a bloody hole...

Congrats on an awesome trophy you will never forget!!!  :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Good deal Sal, that's the way it's done   :thumbsup:
There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach

Looks like you are on a roll. First a doe and now a buck. You are definitely at the top of the cycle. Enjoy the ride. CK
