Al that happens to be my best ever group at 20 yards and the group after that...I would have had to have had a wide angle lense!

Al,
Details on this one are a little cloudy but I do remember a few. This was on Opening Day in '99. It was the first time I was really afraid that I was going to get rained out for opening morning (still never had that happen). I'm sure some of you can remember that this was the year we had a hurricane (I forget the name) roll up in the Gulf a few days before the season. Seems like we may have had two do that within one week? I can't remember. Anyway, lots of wind and a good bit of rain. I think on Thursday, while scouting after a strong wind, I noticed that a good number of the swamp chestnuts had been blown out, some still attached to their broken limbs. And the deer were hitting them hard! I wouldn't have thought they would eat them because they were at least a month premature, but obviously they didn't care.
So anyway, I climb my stand on opening morning 'neath a big swamp chestnut. My father was in a tree about 10 yards away with a video camera. Not too long after good daylight, I notice movement and sure enough, here comes a group of 3 does making a beeline for the acorns. The lead doe gives me a good broadside shot at about 12 yards, I hit anchor, release, and watch my arrow sail right over her back. All three deer spook back in the direction they came from, but stop out about 30 yards away. They mill around for about 5 minutes and finally, they can stand it no longer. Here they come again! I get ready and the same doe gives me another broadside shot about 5 feet from where she was standing on the first shot. This time, I get the job done, but still hit her high in the spine.

I have always had a tendency to shoot high (when shooting from a tree) with a trad bow. I have to constantly remind myself to pick a spot low in the chest.

After 5 years of traditional hunting and a few misses on deer I finally got my first kill this past Spring. My son Matt called this bird to within 12 yards. Even I can hit a target at that distance.
52",45# Browning Nomad Stalker, 2016 GG 2, 175gr WW from a Double Bull Matrix blind.

hey rob, that flat tub is a nice place huh? i heard it used to be a jam up club, also nice kills.

 

[robert carter]

Bam Bam , it was nice until they opened up gun season for the whole season instead of managed hunts. It has a lot of pressure now. It is a beautiful place. Some fine white oak ridges on it.RC

 

[robert carter]

Good deal on the turkey CC , thats the hard one the deer will come easy now.RC
