Well it finally happened!!

Hunted Saturday with my father at the WMA we seen plenty of deer Sat morning but couldnt close the deal on them! Seen a total of 9 does. Got into stand roughly around 4pm and by 5:15 my father had harvested a doe. First doe hes got with his bow in roughly 20yrs! Shot her at around 23yrds, the RAGE did its job. She was quartering to him(I couldnt beleive he took the shot and I fliped when he told me) He hit high and about 2 ribs back with a complete pass through. Exited right in front of back leg. Blood was spotty first 10yrds then picked up fairly well. We recovered her in 10mins of tracking giving her 1hr to expire before trailing.


Dad with his prize Trophy!

TX711 trail cam pix

I miss out on the prime time to be out there. Last time I went out there was Nov. 7th and called in a small 8pt. I set out a mock scrape with my trail camera and got pix of two bucks. I finally got out there this Sun. and recover the camera. All I saw this time around was about 6 does and no bucks. Got video of the small 8pt from Nov. Ill put it sometime. But heres the pix of the bucks.

Another Buck DOWN! Was shot 5:22pm Sunday afternoon. Forgot the camera so no pics..UGH! But was not a trophy but nice 8pt. Shot with Rage BH and recovery was under 50yrds. He was running does like crazy, he had to catch his breath, I ranged at 33yrds and let the arrow fly. THWAP!

Villa- WOW your bucks are coming in early! At area most action is being seen until 4:30 to 5:30.
