Sorry guys Its not a muley but it is my first deer with a bow scored grossed 133
10,603
You should be VERY proud!
well I finally scored after 47 hours on stand i passed them up and I missed one bigger then this last weekend but iam sure happy with this one.
I can only hunt after football practice so really I only have about an hour and a half to two hours each day but on this one I got stuck in cheney with out a ride so I called my friend and he came and picked me up and I was at the house at about 6 and it was raing really hard so I really wasent planning on huntingbut for some reason I just told my self go so I loaded every thing up and was out there and it takes about 10 min to walk across the field and to my treestand. as I was climbing up I saw 2 doescome running out in the field. It was the same 2 does that I saw playing the night before with this same buck. so I got up in my stand raised by bow up and got an arrow nocked and was sitting there waiting well the wait dident last long when I saw a deer coming through the trees which is on a trail 15.5 yards away from the stand. I could tell by the body he wasent no small buck or doe so I stood up and came to full draw just as he came in to the shooting lane. I dident have to look twice to decide my season was about to end! I scooze the shot off and it looked like it hit way low but man was that a cool sound! sounded like an arrow passing through a pumpkin and I herd the arrow smash into the ground. right when I shot he ran off in the direction he came from but remember in the begining of the story it had been a down pour for the last 24 hours so every thing was really quite and soft so I could just here something stop but never herd any thing fall. So I called my dad down in Idaho which is on his first elk hunt but I never got a hold of him so I knew that the blood trail was going to be sparse so I went to where he was when I shot but as I got up to the trail he was pilled up only about 10 yards from where I had shot! Oh man was I pumped! I was scremeing like a school girl on christmas! I couldent even dial my phone to get my friend up to help drag him out! as I gutted him out the arrow zipped right through both lungs and the front end of the heart! I found the arrow and there was absolutley no blood trail at all! right where the deer was like its last 2 steps there was some blood but as far as following a blood trail the was nothing! that was the first deer I had ever shot in weather like that so that was new. but he ended up scoring 133 and 4/8 so Iam sure happy with him.
