Archery1st 2009 Bow Buck!!!

[Krivoman]

With all of the time I've spent in a tree this year, you would think I could close the deal on a decent buck.

In an antler restricted county at least I can shoot this one.

Not much story. He followed another buck pushing a doe through the area and stopped for a bit of hand corn. 100g Muzzy at 22 yards got both lungs. He ran about 20 yards, stopped and looked around, then dropped like a rock.

Now I need a shooter.

Might want to move this to another thread.... Nice spike.

Great story Bruce...and a brute of a South Texas whitetail to show for it. You put in the time and effort my friend...nicely done!

Great looking buck, congrats.

Sorry Bruce, just comparing tine length.

Congratulations Bruce. I would say "things always work out for you," but the truth is you MAKE them happen. Man, what a buck!

Share his stats with us.

sweet curvy tines

Definitely put your time in !!
Ever thought of setting your feeder a little later?

Joe - trust me! I thought of everything...I had many hours waiting this dude out to think. In truth I changed my feeder time 5 times over the last 4 weeks creeping with and trying to stay at the crack of dawn.

This dudes SOP was to leave at the first crack of daylight. My hope was to get him to gradually stay a little later each time he came in. I don't know if it worked or if I just got lucky and he slipped up Saturday...but I'd like to think my plan worked.
