I had been staying away from the one promising place at the tobacco field untile the wind was right. This morning the internet said there would be winds from S to SW.
I put my stand up a tree with my back towards the field and facing the trail and a small sinkhole filled with water.
I was not in the stand an hour when I heard something behind me. Like an idiot, I turned aroung real quick.
There was three does with a spike buck following them. Weird, huh? They started but only went about 10 feet and stopped to look back at me.
I actually stood up and made an offside shot at the closest doe. It was a bad shot and I probably should not have taken it, but she went about 20 or 30 feet and got hung up in some kudzu and went down. She kept thrashing around for about 5 minutes and then would stop and in about another 5 minutes she would start again. I waited forabout half an hour and could not take it anymore.
I climbed down and went over and she was hung up bad. My arrow hit her in the butt but I must have hit something important because she wasn't moving her rear legs and there was a lot of blood. My knife was in the truck and I did not have a gun so I had to shoot her with another arrow. I went and got the four-wheeler and the knife and she was dead by the time I got back. I am not happy about her suffering but I am proud to get my first bow kill.
Hey Doc, I can't find the icon or button to post pictures. Could you help me out? I would appreciate it.
