1st of the season
Opening day 9pt at 20 yards . Loving the new Hoyt Carbon Element G3 . Got on stand at 6:30 and just as there was enough light . I heard noise in palmettos right under . Had a doe bedded at 15 feet . She fed around for an hour . At 8 , I picked up the grunt call , grunted twice and saw movement to my left . Doe at 60 yards . She fed closer to me . At 8:20 heard a deer coming from in front . I see a nose and a rack . Oh yeah , right at 20 yards . As soon as he turned , I drew back , put the 20 yard pin on him and squeezed trigger . Spitfire hit the mark , he took off and I heard him splash about 60 yards . Gave him 20 minutes , found the arrow covered in blood . I went straight to where I heard the crash . There he was . Thank You Lord . All the scouting paid off .

Full moons make me crazy and I go out and kill deer . Come to think all moon phases do that to me

Nice one!!! He looks like an 8/9 (i'd call it a 10 with that little bump on the above the right brow) Whatever he turns out to be, it sure looks like bacon wrapped backstrap is on the menu!

Re: 1st of the season
Have you ever heard of the Florida blood trailers association? They have a facebook page and have guys all over the state that will come track your deer for nothing. They can usually be there in a couple of hours or less. I have never needed to use them but follow them close listening to all of te storys. they recovered like 50-60 deer last year. Just a thought, if nothing else you might just want to follow them for the reading.down4dacount wrote: jr shot one with the bow and we didn't find . Went in a wet slough and lost blood .
