Man-Cub #2’s first archery harvest!
My 12 year old got a spring bear with a rifle as his first big game animal, and we were hoping to follow rhat up with an archery mule deer. We had a target buck we hunted hard for the past two months, and we got super close over and over again - he missed on our first stalk at 23 yards in mid September, and never got another shot at him. We were at 34 yards this morning when a swirl of the wind sent him running.
We thought our day was done, but after hiking some coulees and a LOT of glassing, we found a couple of bucks in a narrow finger coulee about a mile away. Tired, after a long day of hiking and glassing, Matty didn’t give up: “we’ve only got a few hours of light and it’s our last day. We’re not gonna kill anything in the truck - let’s go for them!”
We hurried to the last place we saw them, and no bucks. There weren’t many places for them to go in the wide open prairie, so i told him we’d ease up the next drainage, so to nock an arrow and be ready. As we slowly created the ridge, the first buck was below us feeding - quartering hard away from us, his head in a bush. Rarely does that ever happen - and the buck was only 27 yards away! Marty’s arrow hit the buck a little far back, but with the quartering angle, it went up into his chest for a quick recovery. A GREAT consolation buck in the last few hours of the General season in our zone.

Better late than never. Came in silent and slow. Finally turned and gave me broadside at about 10-12 yards. 50 yard run and then fell straight over backwards!

Those two pictures sure make him look different in each one, first one he looks tiny, next one he looks great! Nice work!

Nice shooting guys!
Open field makes it a bit tough with a bow.
Any story to share?

Just put them there for the picture before we got to work. There was 5 in a group. Called them in, one got to us 300 yards a head of the others and we shot it. Cow called again and the others came in. Shot another. The third one circled and I managed to call it back in.

Was lucky enough to fill my whitetail tag. 40 yard shot as he came out tailing a doe.

First deer ever! After loosing a nice bull elk I made a bad shot on with a recurve, I sold it all to get a compound. 15 yard from the ground and saw him drop within 50 yards. Good end to my season! Attachment 159570Attachment 159571
