Monster 8 point bow kill - 09/30/14 06:39 PM
Alright so he's not a monster but thats never really been what it's about for me. It's about the hunt, the experience, the memories and the backstrap. I've been hunting everyday, morning and evening for the last 3 days and this is the only buck I've seen, minus a few fork horns. It couldn't have come together any better this morning. The cool air make it perfect to be sitting in my tree stand and as a the fog lifted and this buck walked out of a cedar thicket 40 yards to my right, I got that rush of adrenaline that makes your knees shake a little bit and your heart beat a little harder in your chest. He came under my stand quartering hard towards me at 20 yards and then fed his way out to 36 yards where he finally turned quartering away and I let the arrow fly. My gold tip arrow, tips with a 3 blade fixed broad head ripped through both lungs and he piled up in a pool of blood in under 40 yards. I know he's just a little 8 point but I couldn't be happier with my first kill of the season! Tonight I will feast on back strap and tender loin.
I got head skinned out and have to keep working on it.
