Went out last night after appying for jobs all day. The wind was perfect blowing to the north gently. Lots of deer coming and going from the feeder, I had planned on taking a big doe is she and her fawns came in. Well the fawns did, she was a no show show. I watched them for at least 30 minutes before deciding to maybe head in for the night. One of the fawns kept picking it;s head up and looking back towards the woods. I figured that it's mom was goig to come in.............Wrong Mr. 5 point was making his was towards the feeder. As I waited for him to get in range it was pretty obvious that he was nervous  as he stayed on the west side of the feeder keeping it between him and myself. He eventuallly got much closer but still 50 yards is a long shot with a bow. I kept waiting and he kept feeding towards me. Finally he was within 35-38 yards quartering away. I slid a 2512 easton tipped with  125 grain thunderhead just behind the shoulder. Thump it is hit him hard, I watched as he ran towards the house stopping in the driveway and folding up right there. Talk about not having to drag him far. No camo, no hunting boots just my bow and arrows. The pictures are the end result. Funny thing about his rack it had a fist size clump of velvet still hanging pretty tight. Enjoy my friends. gotts go find a job. The clothes you see me in are the ones I was wearing at the time.

I used the winch on my quad to getem up there. Much easier to gut that way, side then I can let all the guts and blood drain into the kiddie pool and dump it i nthe woods after.

Nice shot Bistro!  :yoyo:
2512's and a 125 grain tip? :wo: The stone age is calling, it wants it's arrow back..... :nono: Did you fashion the tip out of flint as well? It is quite possible that you  may have had a pass thru if you weren't using a wheel bow and Lincoln Logs!
Stirrin' on, oh, stirrin on, stirrin on.........
