Well he doesn't have much for antlers but I tagged this guy using an osage bow and a stone tipped arrow. I made the bow from an osage tree I cut about 250 yards from where I shot him. The wound you see is the exit - and, perhaps fittingly, I was unable to find my stone point. Hopefully some archer 200 years from now will find it!
Brother, that’s about as cool as it gets right there. 👍

I had 5 coyotes trot near me last night and I was able to get one to come back with a kiss/squeak call. Used, what for me is my ultra-high tech set-up: 25 year old Bob Lee recurve with some carbon arrows and Zwickey Deltas.

2020 trad harvest. Doe shot with a black widow PSAX 62” 53# @31-1/2” shooting full length black eagle renegade 250 spine with the 58 grain 1/2 out and 200 grain VPA three blade and iron will S200’s. First shot was a bad shot I spine shot it just up from the rear hip the deer and it dropped in its tracks. I got another arrow in it from the tree but had to shoot it again from the ground at a better angle.

I see these couple femoral artery hits.. where these on purpose? Or more of a “ahh shit....thank goodness” type of moments?

I only ask because the first doe I killed was taken in the same manor...” what the hell? You frickin idiot... you should let down, etc....wait, there’s a blood trail.”

That was 5 years ago for me.. I realized real quick that you must shoot almost everyday to keep your shit together when it counts.

I had a bad shot from a seated position in the tree stand and the deer was alert. I thought I had the shot lined up well. I’m not sure if it dropped and lunged or it was a bad shot all together, I’ll take being lucky here for sure. I have noticed I either miss the deer completely or I get good shot on them, I can flat out shoot some foam from 0-40 yards, when hunting my mental process seams to float away with the wind. Every time I have a deer walk in I now tell myself “don’t rush you have time, get the shot lined up and get off the string clean.

I have never spine shot a deer prior to this one.
