I have been bow hunting for 4 years, I have been waiting for a monster buck. I have shot and missed a few 140 to 150 class deer.
I told myself this year I am going to shoot the first deer that walks under my stand.
I have been working a ton of hours at work and have a new baby at home so Sat. was my first time to get in a stand.
I decided to try a new farm right outside of DesMoines. I put the stand in a few weeks ago. When I got there I counted 9 rubs and 3 scrapes from my stand.
It was getting dark and I had not seen a thing when a decent 8 pointer came out of nowhere. He stuck around for a half hour checking the scrapes and finally walked to an area where I could get a shot.
About twenty yards, a little further forward than I wanted and the arrow did'nt pass thru.
Went home watched the baby til mama got home, recruited some help.
Found the buck about 100 yards down from my stand, broadhead passed thru both lungs.
Arrow was missing, might have to go back and look for it later.
This buck was no monster, but I did prove I can harvest one with a bow.
I have taken alot of deer with shotguns, but this one will be one to remember.
