Hi everyone.
Went out yesterday after work....got bored so decided i would try out hubbys grunt call and rattle that i borrowed. I was bored. Lol. I grunted 3 time softly and then clicked the rattle a couple times. This buck came busting through the corn on the other side of the ravine, crashed through the ravine behind me and by the time i had the bow up he was beside my stand. He looked up at me....but didnt see or care or something. He walked out of the weedy stuff 10 feet in front of the stand so a steep angle shot quartering away on the left....found him 50 yards away of course in the water at the bottom of the ravine-he went down on the hill and rolled into the bottom. Why oh why do they always end up in the water at the bottom? Lol. Found the broadhead lodged under the skin clear across him in his armpit. Lung and heart shot. Couldnt have asked for a better shot. I am totally indebted to my hubby-all the work he did to make it possible for me to get out-shooting rails, winching him out, adding steps to the stand ladder, helping me out and back in when i was having teouble walking...and staying up butchering till 2am...and to a fellow named john from toronto and ontario out of doors forum for the crank for the bow....i am totally broken today but its all okay. He is a gorgeous buck and the meat looks amazing. He will be sausages and hamburgers and steaks are already in the freezer. Actually is 8 points but tiny beams lol. Good thick body though, just a great animal all around.
