Trad buck down.

Unread postby NightwishMike » Fri Oct 28, 2011 2:56 am

After harvesting a turkey with my recurve, I decided to sit the same setup with my wife to try to get her on a bird to fill her last tag. Took out the recurve again just incase. we got in to sit at 6:30 and at 8:50 a Spike came down the trail. my wife looked at me and nodded and at about 20 yards quartering away I shot him. Complete pass through. He went 30 yards and layed down. We didn't even have to track him.

He wasn't huge or even medium sized but it was my first trad deer. He is very special to me :D

Good job, on the stick bow buck.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I should have posted that in my thread!

Bow is a Predator classic riser with Predator Hunter limbs (nice matte black finish on the limbs for ground blind hunting)
51# @ 28 inch draw
Behman MFX classics 10.4 GPI 31" long
75 Gr Brass HIT inserts
3 5 inch shield feathers
125 grain Wensel Woodsman broadhead sharpened to shave hair.

arrow weight: 530 grains

Went through that deer like a hot knife through butter :D
