Brother, that’s about as cool as it gets right there.Well he doesn't have much for antlers but I tagged this guy using an osage bow and a stone tipped arrow. I made the bow from an osage tree I cut about 250 yards from where I shot him. The wound you see is the exit - and, perhaps fittingly, I was unable to find my stone point. Hopefully some archer 200 years from now will find it!
Congratulations everyone

Thats awesome man......2 feet! lol Congratulations on a nice buckHey Rob, love your podcast.. only one I listen to anymore..
Have a couple from this year..
Buck shot at 25 yards..
Coyote 7 FEET...on a run.. passed 2ft from tip of my boots..that was close!
I had a bad shot from a seated position in the tree stand and the deer was alert. I thought I had the shot lined up well. I’m not sure if it dropped and lunged or it was a bad shot all together, I’ll take being lucky here for sure. I have noticed I either miss the deer completely or I get good shot on them, I can flat out shoot some foam from 0-40 yards, when hunting my mental process seams to float away with the wind. Every time I have a deer walk in I now tell myself “don’t rush you have time, get the shot lined up and get off the string clean.I see these couple femoral artery hits.. where these on purpose? Or more of a “ahh shit....thank goodness” type of moments?
I only ask because the first doe I killed was taken in the same manor...” what the hell? You frickin idiot... you should let down, etc....wait, there’s a blood trail.”
That was 5 years ago for me.. I realized real quick that you must shoot almost everyday to keep your shit together when it counts.
