Archery Success!!! 6x6 Buck!!!
Archery Success!!! 6x6 Buck!!!
Was a good opener to the Archery season. This trip we saw alot of animals. After 2 hard days of hunting, spotting, glassing and many miles on the leather, I was able to connect on a beautiful 6x6 with matching 1 1/2" cheaters on either side and some great fronts and awesome mass. Saw this buck out feeding and after a long hour long stalk I shot this buck at 21 yards. He ran down the trail about 35 yards and I watched him stop and stagger like he had been hit by a heavyweight fighter. He took a couple steps to the right out of sight. I knew it wouldn't be long before he went down. After giving him a good half hour, I began a slow check for blood and to look for my arrow as it was a pass through. As I walked 20 yards passed the where I had shot him, I found him lying in some brush. What I didn't know was that I only had a 10-12 inch window through the pine right in front of me and my arrow had just barely clipped the tip of a branch which made the shot a little back. I had shot him through the liver. As I approached and saw him just lying there, he was still breathing so I knocked another arrow to shoot so he would not suffer. As I took one more step he immediately jumped up and took one step and turned and looked at me at 7 yards broadside. The staredown began, I slowly pulled back the string and let another one fly right behind the shoulder. He ran about 40 yards and was down for the count.
Here he is after the I found him:

Here is what my Montec G5 did to him. I love these broadheads. They open an animal right up.

Re: Archery Success!!! 6x6 Buck!!!
Very Nice! Great rack! He will look great on the wall. How long did it take you stock him? Did you find him bedded down or was he on the move? I am going out for the first time this year with a bow.... trying to to glean as much info as possible...... from veterans like you!
Well done.
Well done.
Got air! Got food! Got shelter and got the Lord Jesus in my life! I am good to go, are you?
