Headed to Valley View, TX to get some hunting in with the cooler weather. I have been after a 9 point that I missed opening morning but he never showed this weekend.
Friday was uneventful except for 6 does coming in at last light. However it was too dark for video. Saturday morning produced nothing, but my luck changed that afternoon. Sitting in my blind after listening to the Red Raiders get embarrassed by the buffs I heard a squirrel behind me start reaking havoc. I slowly turn around to see what he was barking at and a bobcat walks out 10 yards from me. I grab my bow and get ready for a shot but he moved off before I could draw back. Despite my best try at squeaking he had no interest and would not come back. Did snap a pic though.
After just barely missing the chance of a lifetime i was a little frustrated but not a few minutes later 2 does and a yearling step out. Waited for the one I wanted to offer a good shot. She turned quartered away and I made a great shot hitting both lungs and clipping the back of the heart. You can watch the video and see the arrow hit the dirt behind her after passing through. She ran about 50 yards and piled up. Although I watched her fall, the magnus stinger did an awesome job as usual and left a nice blood trail. I will never use another broadhead. Not only is the warranty awesome the things just plain work.
Here is the video. The coon at the beginning is one of four that like to have a little buffet line at my protein feeder. The other three were smart enough not come back out.
It is kind of small but had to compress it to upload it.
