See the blood print on the tree? I watched her slam into it from my stand, about 60 yards away, and there she dropped. (She was only about 15 yards from me when I shot). And I video'd it with my little bike camera too!! She's not huge, but she's not a baby either. Good eatin'!!

I've only shot them with a rifle at a minimum of 150-200yards out, so I can only imagine 15yards.

Thanks. It was a rush. Since the season opened, I've watched several walk through without being able to shoot... the bow... shot a bunch of video LOL. From nerves, to not being able to move without them catching me... its all pretty exciting.

The video is actually pretty uneventful, but I'll post it anyway. The turkey that I shot with the bow though... now that's some cool footage!! Will try to post them later this evening.

Any deer with a bow is a trophy. Youll see a multitude for every one you get a shot at. Turkey with a bow is even more of a trophy.
Ie known guys hunted 10 years before thier first bow kill. Lot that still havent taken a turkey with a bow.

My youngest got her first(doe) with a gun monday evening at 15 yards then missed a 4 point buck at 20 yards about 20 minutes later...lol
Ex took a 5 point this evening. So far all ive done is passed on does and small bucks, guided the girls and cleaned deer...lol

That and try to get pms to work and even regular posts to work. Stinking error msgs.
Need your e-mail addy BH.

Re: My first bow hunting success! :) Reply #11 - 11/16/11 at 06:32:05 Take the brain & rub it on a spot on a sidewalk, it wont get wet for 2 years. Or try it on some leather, What did it dress out at? YOu dont know yet, I know, but tell us when you get it all cut up & deboned. The only deer I took weighed about 35 pounds after. Like a big dog,,

Looks like one of last years justin so being a WV deer probably about 80lbs field dressed. Looks about as tender as BH...lol
Farther north you get the bigger they get. Id like one of them canadian Hogs they call deer. 200+ lbs field dressed
Really big buck or doe might go 200 field dressed around here if its fed good.

BH has 'lost her deer cherry' so now shes got to look for that thirty point buck...lol

BH, make sure you talk that turkey kill into the conversation with bowhunters. Thats something to brag about. Wink

DUUUDE! Thats harsh,, she isnt exactly plump, tho,, Looks like an active lady, probably be one of those 90+ year old spitfire gals one day.

She mite dress out about the same as that little deer.. she is a tiny one.
Congratulations on being an adventurous woman Piglet... Your hubby is a lucky man.
