"GOT AWAY " !!!!!! You mean you let one get away????

I watched a 24 point walk away, it was real windy and I had a bow. I couldnt get with in 60 yards of it. It made me sick.

now you know why the cowboys whupped the injuns.

Just last rut, the weekend before the first gun season I had my chance at a 160 class 10-point It was 10 yards away when I drew my bow on it. It was so close all 3 of my pins took up most of the kill zone But it happened so quick and when I pulled back my bow the peep site spun around on me to where I couldnt see through it. The buck set there for two minutes just licking this tree while I was turning the peep around with my tounge. As soon as I got it turned around and started to squeeze my release the deer had its 6th sence kick in and took off back the way it came. While he was running I turned and the arrow slipped out and fell on the ground. He then stopped at 50 yards and turned and came back to 40 and turned broad side. And the way he had me turned I couldnt turn to get my other arrow without him spotting me. He stared right at me and then walked off.

Here in about 10 years I imagine that will be about a 200 inch deer, maybe new state record

Nothin but respect to bow hunters. I don't think I could handle it, If I see em I want to be able to dump em......that and I ain't that sneaky.

I've got a couple buddies who bow hunt elk out here. One will do the ninja trick and actually has gotten in amongst the herd to take his bulls. The other guy is a runner and he'll just take off after the herd and pretty soon they will "forget" why they were running or get tired and stop. Both these guys get nice bulls every year......I try and shoot em from the truck seat and not spill my coffee.

We call that BUCK FEVER

I think I posted this year before last. My brother brought this one down in Frankfort, ohio. He had a big smile on his face for a week.

^^^^^^^^^ Awesome deer What did it score

I was bowhunting on thanksgiving day of my freshman year in HS, 2004... I got done eating my dinner around 3 and I decided to hunt for a few hours before dark, I walked about 200yrds in the woods and sat on a stump with my bow in hand. 10min. later a doe flys by me so i knew it was being chased... lagging behind was a nice 10pt. It walked below me about 20 yards and stopped... i pulled back my bow and put whai thought was a great shot on it... I went to go get my grandpa and one of my friends to help me track it.. we went and looked and seen puddles of blood so i knewi put a great shot on it... when we got to this hillside, my grandpas rolled down a hill and into a creek so we decided to call off the search and look the next morning. I went that whole night wondering if i was going to find it... i got a call the next morning around 8 and it was my friend.. he went out early that morning and found my buck... I put a perfect double lung shot on it, but the funny part was, it was 12 feet from where my grandpa rolled down the hill,.... lol ... so ii cleaned it and took it to get cut up and went to a scrimmage against the girls varsity team an hour later... lol

I just got the buck scored abouta month ago in Rutland Ohio... theres a guy there that is an official scorer but i cant remember his name... It made Ohio Big Buck with a score of 138 1/8... I was prett happy to get a good trophy like that...

I thought ohio big buck was 140 are you sure it wasnt pope & young
