Got this beautiful creature this morning. I had to take advantage of the weather and had to get out with the bow instead of the rifle.
Every thing came together today. I sat myself on the ground just inside the edge of a set of bushes facing an open grazing area and let Rip a few blind bleats and he came in behind 2 does. The does walked past me but be stopped at 10 yards broadside. I had a Montana deer decoy set up 30 yards infront of me and he was VERY interested in her. I had my bow in my lap, arrow knocked. All I had to do was raise the bow and draw. Hit him with a Rage Trypan through both lungs. He ran about 80 yards to the opposite set of bushes and tipped over about 60 yards in the timber. I'm a very happy guy, the wife's even happier for lots of jerky this winter!
