Arrowslinger
WKR
After watching a group of about a dozen deer from a distance this past week and getting a good glimpse of their travel and escape corridors, we hit the trail early this morning to get a jump on the competition and to get in position as the deer moved from their private land feeding ground onto a public land bedding area.
I watched a solid buck from about 150 yards rip some brush apart as he removed his summer velvet while his forkie buddy looked on. I'm not too picky as i have two tags, so the first to come through, gets a ride in my truck.
The bigger of the two stopped at 42 yards and kicked high as my arrow went through. What i found at the end of the blood trail was a great surprise.......for public land California, this exceeded my expectations. He's a solid 4x3 with one eye guard and plenty of mass. An old fella of the mountain.
