I just got washed and settled in after a successful hunt.

Tons of does as usual but then the bucks started to show up.

First one then another. Several 6 pointers! Too far away. They were starting to chase the does but not in full blown earnest yet but still fun to see.

I kept saying to them under my breath, "come closer, come closer".

Finally, one came in and turned broadside. 30 yards away.

Relax I told my self, TAKE YOUR TIME. I got my Hoyt Laser Tech bow up set the Hot Dot site right behind the front shoulder. I let the Carbon Express fly with the Magnus Stinger 100gr. Right into the bolier room and Down!!!


He went ZERO yards!

I have gotten tons of bucks and does with rifle over the years, tons of does with my bows but this was my first buck with a Bow!!

OK, it is not a big rack but I just felt I had to break the drought. Now that that is done, the butcher has him.

There are really, really, bigger bucks around here and that is my next goal but I accomplished my main goal this time out, to finally get a buck with a bow!

Whew!!! My first bow buck and the first time I ever shot a deer at over 20 yards with a bow!

That's fantastic!! I love your stories Flint. You make us feel like we were sitting next to you during the hunt. Every deer is a great deer.

My pleasure I hope everyone has a great season. After tons of does on my Trail Cams I got from Hunt Buzz the bucks are starting to make their comeback~.

Oh, I checked the site where I got the deer. There was a thick small puddle of blood still bright red right where I shot him. I measured the distance, 40 yards! The longest bow shot I ever took on any deer ever with a bow. At that distance it went zero yards. Those Magnus stingers rock and that hot dot site in pendulum with one pin mode gave me an unobstructed view. 40 yards! wow.

good job flint
