I know, that was really bad. |

The season has been very good to us so far. We have been busted by bulls 4 out of 6 days in the field. This small bull came into our set up like he was on a string:
My hunting partner was in the right place at the right time for a 36 yd shot. Oh yes, he sure is eating good. I am going back out for a week to try and find this guy: 
I bumped him out of his bed on day 2 at about 35 yards. He is a brute! The smaller bull shredded a tree about 150 yds from me on day 3. He was matching my every move as I rattled, scraped, stomped and scuffed! Shoot strait! |

Indiana's archery season opened today, and I worked until 3:30 PM as usual. I arrived at my hunting location, suited up, and left my vehicle at 4:02 PM. I walked down over the wooded ridge, selected a tree for my climbing stand, and then proceeded on down the hill to trim a couple of low-lying saplings. I then climbed the tree, attached my safety harness, put on my gloves, ranged a few landmarks, and pulled my bow up. I then nocked an arrow, and sat back. A few minutes later, I noticed a mature doe and her offspring 25 yards below me on the ridge next to a small stream. The doe acted nervous, then started walking up the hill towards me. Due to the safety harness, I could not shoot her off to my left without turning a complete rotation, so I had no choice but to do so, which meant turning my back on her as she's walking towards me. I managed to turn around okay, then once she got up alongside me, I pulled my head back behind the trunk of the tree. I could see her ear, and tell that she was looking right at me. After a few tense moments, she continued her stiff-legged walk up the hill. She paused in a quartering away position about 20 yards away. I drew, anchored, and placed the pin back a little on her torso, so that I was aimed at her opposite foreleg. The arrow struck with a resounding crack, and she sprinted off, with her offspring in tow. A glance at my watch indicated 4:32 PM –– I'd left my vehicle exactly 30 minutes before! I was unsure of the shot after watching her run out of sight up the other ridge. I sat there a few moments, then silently climbed down. I found my blood-covered arrow lying on the ground. For a second, I wondered if maybe it had bounced out instead of passing through, since it wasn't stuck in the ground. There was a lot of blood at the shot location, but with my colorblindness, I couldn't discern a bloodtrail. I called my brother, and he and a friend drove the Polaris Ranger right to my stand. He also brought along his dog, which is some sort of hound mix. While we were looking at first blood, the dog started smelling around, and took of in the general direction the deer had went. For some reason, I didn't think that the doe had went through where the dog was messing around, but at my brother's insistence, we decided to check it out. Walking up the trail that the dog had just climbed, I saw decent amounts of blood pooled on leaves. I then noticed the dog messing around in the undergrowth, and my brother said, "There's your deer right next to Lucky." Sure enough, that dog had went right to it. What's funny is that we tried him on a bloodtrail last year, and he showed zero interest in it. The arrow's entrance was back on the left side, center-punched the liver, passed through the lungs, and exited the right side a few inches behind the foreleg. No damage to the paunch at all, which was a good thing, as I thought that I may have clipped it due to the shot angle. The Rage 2-blade broadhead left a huge slit through both sides of the doe and the liver. |

I have posted in the AR 15 section several times, but never thought to look for a bow hunting forum here. This is Great!!!! Any how, Saturday was my second time out this season on my family farm in southern Ohio. I filled my Antlered tag by noon. Buck dressed out at 212Lb by the butcher and I swear he was 270lb on the hoof when I was dragin his big ass out to where I could fetch him w/ the tractor. Haven't scored him yet. Good luck to everyone in the early season. Shoot straight!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE 11/19: Finally got him scored. Gross 144" ,Net 138 & 1/8"

It's always nice to see outstanding deer coming from Ohio.
Do you have any plans for a mount? Congratulations to all the other successful hunters here. |

Tom Moore / North American Taxidermy in Carrol Ohio is doing my shoulder mount and he is going to officially score it. I don't think it will score more than 140", but I am just happy to have harvested such a good looking Buck! Its why I love to bow hunt so much. Hell, I get just as excited arrowing does. BTW, I got over 110Lbs of meat back from the butcher tonight!!!!!!!

I had this deer come through my lease last night with 2 other smaller bucks. The Switchback XT and 2 blade Rage combo worked like a charm. He went belly up about 75 yards away.

Posted: 10/12/2009 7:40:25 PM
The G2's are 7 1/2" and the buck weighed 172lbs dressed. Since the bucks in Wisconsin aren't in full rut and only sparring so far, it was nice getting a buck with both brow tines still intact.

I shot this boar yesterday evening from a tree stand using an older PSE Nova. I shot sooner than I should have and took a quartering too me shot rather than a good broad side shot. The 100 grain muzzy (three blade) penetrated 14 inches before being broken off. The boar was 25 yards away. Shot placement would have been great had the pig been broad side. I got one lung and could here the boar expiring after I found the other half of my arrow that had broken off. There was no blood trail, but I was able to watch the pig run off as well as find the gforce illuminated nock. I backed out after I found my broken arrow and came back the following morning. The boar traveled about 75 yards before giving up the ghost. That is my oldest daughter with me helping out with tracking. I'm getting her a bow from the PX tomorrow! Enjoy. |

I thought I was the only one left in this darn country using a PSE Nova! I've yet to actually fill a tag during bow season though. Had the bow nearly 9 years now but probably only been in the woods a dozen times with it. Last year I kinda eased into it and this year I'm going out as much as my schedule allows. By the way, I'm using 3-blade 100gr Muzzy's too! |

Strangely enough I stuck a doe with the bow a few days prior to this pig, but did not take any photos. I'm seriously thinking about buying a version of the PSE X Force bow. It is hard to justify that much money for a tool that is only good to about 40 yards in my hands. ...guess it is only money. |

Walking up the trail that the dog had just climbed, I saw decent amounts of blood pooled on leaves. I then noticed the dog messing around in the undergrowth, and my brother said, "There's your deer right next to Lucky." Sure enough, that dog had went right to it. What's funny is that we tried him on a bloodtrail last year, and he showed zero interest in it. The arrow's entrance was back on the left side, center-punched the liver, passed through the lungs, and exited the right side a few inches behind the foreleg. No damage to the paunch at all, which was a good thing, as I thought that I may have clipped it due to the shot angle. The Rage 2-blade broadhead left a huge slit through both sides of the doe and the liver. Dude, why did you shoot a doe with a youngster? that's not the way to keep deer around- Could always wack the fidge..they're more tender anyway.... Bambi makes cute sandwiches FTW!!! Bambi is actually the best eating of the bunch. Keeping deer around is not the problem. There are so many of them you can't grow a garden, the side of the road looks like a slaughterhouse with all the dead deer, and the car insurance industry is putting a lot of pressure on the game managers to have more deer killed. A big ole gnarly buck is actually the worst eating. Way to strong and stringy. Back straps anyone? |

Got my mount back a few days ago and though I'd share. 5 months turn around, but well worth the wait.

I got him on my family's farm which is just east of Chillicothe. I shot him 2nd weekend of bow season and have seen 2 - 150"+ bucks on the farm since then. I'm gonna do some shed hunting this weekend to see if they made it through the season.

The wife and I went on a 4 day bow hunt at Bowhunter's Paradise. I would recommend this place to anyone. But at the end of the 4 day hunt I shot this guy (Corsican) with my Mathew's Z7 and a 100 grain Atom broad head. Side note the Atom actually broke up inside the critter, we found it as we were cleaning him up, and really didn't get the penetration that I was expecting. I most likely will not be using those again. But it was a great hunt looking forward to heading back again.

Congrats!
As soon as I saw Atom, I was going to ask if it stayed in one piece. |
