This past weekend was another big weekend and possible best weekend for her bowhunting. Friday evening will sitting in the tripod and around 5pm she just happened to look behind her and there was Yote sniffing around the cedar bushes 25yds away. She quickly and quietly spun around and drew as soon as she got squared up on him. She already knew the cedar was 25yds so she put her 25yd pin on him and drove a 100gr. Thunderhead right through him. She thought she heard him crash after a 30yd run into the brush.
So she nocks another arrow and continues to hunt. Right at last light the buck she's been chasing since opening morning walks right into the feeder and quarters away slightly. She knew she didn't have much time so she drew back and got anchored. Right when she was getting pin down on him he spooked out for no reason and was out of bow range at this time so she had to let down. She decided to sneak out of area and not look for yote. BOY was she irratated that night with the buck!!!
. So the next morning she told me to come sit with her. I put a lock on stand next to the tripod in a Oak Tree. So we are settled in a good 1hr 15mins before shooting light with hardly a breeze but very nice 55degree temp. Right around 7am she saw movement about 100yds away and looked through the binos. It was him!! He was rubbing his face in some overhanging brush with his rack tilted back and showing it off to her. He got done and walked straight away. I couldn't see any of this so I just sat still. At 7:40 she motions deer coming our way. I start looking through the Oak tree limbs and make out 2 deer and can't tell anything about them yet, but looked at wife and she had bow up, release clipped on, and the look that tells you it's HIM!! I finally saw the buck's rack about 30yds out and there was him and a young 8 coming in straight to feeder. HE was the lead deer and walked straight in and was slightly quartered away. I glanced over to wife and she was already drawing back not wasting any time. I get back on the deer and at 16yds she pinwheels the buck 3" behind shoudler and right above heart with the Thunderhead lodging into the opposite shoulder and breaking off as he took off on a short 50yd death run. We could hear him go down but still waited 30mins so I COULD CALM DOWN
I was not even hunting and I was shaking like Ralph getting a Red Rider BB gun for Xmas and breathing like a Lady in Labor. It was totally awesome to see my wife shoot her biggest deer to date and experience it with her in the moment. She puts her time in the woods setting things up, checking trail cam pics, and time behind the bow staying dialed in. It was a quick tracking job and lots of hugs, high fives, and kisses!!! After we took some pics I asked where the yote ran and she said right through here somewhere so I saw a trail right there and walked about 10 ft and the yote was only 10 yds from the deer. AWESOME!!! A yote and biggest buck with a bow out of same stand back to back hunt. So we took some more pics of the double. Buck was a basic 8 with split brows and a kicker on left G2 giving him score of 125 3/8
Her setup for this awesome hunt is a Hoyt Faktor 30 42lbs 25"dl, Easton Bloodlines 400 and 100 gr Thunderheads.
