Brazos Co, In the Rain, Soaking Wet, Longbow.....Dead Spike

[hereford]

So I couldn't find any rain gear and decided to just scotch guard a pair of pants and a jacket. Well it didn't work. Saturday morning, 38 degrees, steady rain, and soaking wet in the tree stand. I forced myself to stay seeing as how I have so little days in the field. This spike walks out and faces me under the feeder. Somehow he turns around and quarters away opening up his left arm pit. I told myself.....Man up and suck it up. Somehow I stopped shivering, drew back, focused and let it fly. Complete pass through and sticking in the dirt.

Spike ain't no match for the long bow. Given the day, its a trophy to me.

Glad you got something after all that. Great shot.

Congrats! I'm hoping for my first trad harvest this year, and there is a spike that comes to a feeder regularly at my lease. The spike and several doe are all considered "targets"...

Total pass through??? Awesome!!!

I totally concur, would be a trophy for me as well. Congrats. I just got a recurve and started down the traditional road. I respect the accomplishment of taking a deer with a long bow.
