I know it ain't much for you big bull hunters, but I am just a meat guy and after passing up several cow/calf pairs this beauty finally walked right under my treestand thursday night (my last night to bow hunt before going back to work).
First shot was a broadside fairly extreme down angle, I was 30 feet up which made for a 12yrd shot. Clean pass through which I was a little low on that took out the left lung. She ran forward about 8 yrds and stopped which put her right in my sweet 20 spot. She was slightly on the extreme of quartering away, but I knew I nailed her with the first one. So, I put another one in her, which was bang on double lung. She took off went about 15 yrds and fell over backwards. I heard her last breath and the emotional adrenaline kicked in. I called my buddy who was setup a few hundred yards away and he went and checked on her cause I couldn't climb down (climbing tree stand) cause my legs were like jello. He walked over gave her check and gave me the double thumbs up. First big game animal I've harvested in 8 years. Just got back into it last season.
I don't think I even want to open my gun cabinet to get my deer, I think I'm hooked on the bow.
sorry for the low quality photo. I got her at 7:46 and by the time I got over there there was nothing left for light and all I had was my phone.Not sure why I can't upload any photos so here is an attachment to the other forum I'm on http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/attachment.php?attachmentid=58486&d=1347263322
