Took my daughter out for her first with a bow this past weekend. She hunted hard last year during bow season with no luck. First sit of the season this year and she connects!
I was able to capture the hunt on film and got great footage.....
Great hunt, good memories, and a newly minted bowhunter!

Well, he’s still out there but the hunt was a success… 7 year old KY deer… everything worked out perfectly except one thing, as I recorded him after 10 mins I thought he will drop 3-6 inches from the 16 yards where my blind was, finally he offered the shot and I aimed right at bottom of body (planning he’d drop) and he didn’t and my arrow gave him a clean shave, lol… good news is that TT recurve is so quite everything bolted and came right back in but him, he causally walked off… I’ll let things settle for a couple days and move in again. It was a success for hunt in all regards … perhaps the Lord will allow me another opportunity? This is a clip pic of of the video before camera died.

Happy as heck for my nephew, but not sure he gets to sit my good stands for the rest of the year. :)
Mainframe 5x5 with 15 scoreable points. Not bad for a first with the bow.
From: RK
21-Sep-23
Baptist. Yes a really good one. Free range and yes looks like 4.5. Seems like I usually guess wrong by a year with our deer so maybe 5.5. B with this camera angle 4.5

RK that buck makes me miss TX more and more. Our D'Hannis lease was a special place. I'm probably way off, but I'd be inclined to put him at 4.5 too - that straight back line has me wondering. I'd be very curious what his jaw/teeth tell us.

Got a nice doe first hunt of the year . Went Sunday morning and was in the stand about 20 minutes when 2 does fed up the mountain towards me . No fawns with them ? They got to about 15 yards and 30 yards from me when the closest one bolted , I put the middle pin of the Bare Bones on my Parker compound on the other doe and released , she shot forward from the noise and hit her just forward of both hams nicking the inside tenderloins just under the backbone . Waited 2 hours and found her just 50 yards down the mountain . Never had one react so quickly but she was on full alert ! I will try to learn how to post pics .

From: EmbryOklahoma

This doe I killed was probably the most gratifying kill in the last 10 or more years. I killed her on a controlled draw hunt through the state at the Army ammunition depot in SE Oklahoma. It’s traditional bows, no baiting, hang your stands on Thursday afternoon and your hunt starts on Friday morning and goes until Sunday at noon. 43,000+ acres and you are designated an area which is hunted prior weeks and up to the weekend before Thanksgiving week. 240 hunters or more per weekend. If you kill a doe they will issue you a Quality Pass (QP). I have been 4 other times and swung and missed or never swung at all.
I killed this doe on the last evening I could hunt. Besides feeding my family, it will earn me a QP to come back next year without having to wade through the controlled state drawing. Best thing is… it’s moved up to the 25-27 of October due to when October 1st falls next year. Now, I just hope it’s not 87 degrees this time next year. :)

I shot this guy on the evening of 10/22 in Ohio. He knew something was not quite right and turned to go back. Unfortunately for him he stopped after a couple of quick steps to check his back trail. Fortunately for me I had drawn when he turned and was ready when he stopped.

Rattled this guy in and I was skylined. At 25ish yards he was frontal and looked up so the gig was up. I was already at full draw and sent it.

Weird/tough year. Hadn't seen a 2.5 or older buck since August in the flesh. Never hunted until late October. First racked deer I've seen while hunting and it was a real cool scenario rattling him in and had a blast letting an arrow fly. Drove into town, pulled my daughter out of school and had her track the deer up for me. Best recovery ever and man did we have fun together! She got to enjoy her first gutting as well. We checked everything out and called that day a Biology/PE day! :)

T-Roy “slow year”?? Then sign me up. Nice buck!
All the usual suspects on here killing nice deer as they do every year. Do huntman, beav or carcus ever not fill a tag? :) natural born killers.
I’m sure we’ll see Cazador’s and Forestbows’s big bucks here soon.
I’m still trying to put a tag on a spot and stalk CO Eastern Plains buck.
The rut got going around the 9th but the 70 degree days have been tough.
Good luck to those who still have a tag in their pocket. It’s the best time of year to be in the deer woods.

I got this guy last week on the 6th in Indiana with a good friend on his farm. He showed up tonally engrosed in smelling my track. I have been using Ever Calm on my boots and he was tracking me like a hound. He gave me a perfect 15 yard broadside shot and went 130 yards. We caught him on the trailcam after the shot as well. He dressed out at 185 lbs.

I spent the first week of November with a good friend from WY bowhunting. He was able to take a nice 8 pt and a doe and I took this 11 pt and a doe. It was a great week.
My daughter was on most of the recoveries and she had two different HS girls with her to help. I have still not gotten to the point where shooting stuff isn't fun.
