Finally after many yrs i have no idea where that trail cam pic came from
Congrats! I came so close today, twice! Maybe tomorrow.
Thanks Oryx35 good luck maybe you'll kill a monster... trophyhill are you not hunting? Come on lets see the pics
Nice buck. Is that your first one or first one in a long time? What's the rest of the story?
Started bow hunting in 1994. First mule deer was killed in January of 1998 sitting water. I've had many opportunities since then but never any success till this year.
Last week I spotted this buck bedded on the side of a blown out sand hill and managed to stalk in on him. He was below me about 8ft when I shot him hitting him in the back just right of center behind his shoulder. He ran about 350 yrds then laid down and was dead about 45 min later. Man was I lucky.
Congrats Priley! you were so close you could have just jumped on his back and rode him till he stopped then took him home for packaging.
I just got back from my hunt but my buck quit bleeding after a pretty good 500yd bright red blood trail, I looked for 3 days but nada. I took a steep uphill shot and probably only got one lung and the arrow broke at the fletching when he went by a tree so he still had the fletching inside him, I figure it had to be stuck at the top of the scapula in order to break the arrow. This is the second time the steep uphill shot screwed me, exact same results, you would think I would have learned...... more forward and low! I did have an awesome hunt, saw bucks every day and more turkeys and elk than you could shake a stick at! The best part was I didn't see another person for 10 days
Priley, I didn’t draw any NM tags this year unfortunately. I did buy an AZ deer tag and got to go 3 weekends. I’m working in CO right now so it’s a long 9 hour drive 1 way so it was tough. First time I haven’t drawn a deer tag since NM went to a draw hunt.
