Re: 2010 NE archery whitetail
Thanks bud! Acually he was straight broadside, I don't remember if I said originally I was sitting on the ground, but I was, hiding behind a tree about 18 inch diameter luckily I'm not very wide. I had no choice but to draw when he was around 40 yards and was holding for over 5 minutes till I had a chance, I was at full draw facing the tree when I heard two foot steps this told me he made a move, and I had to as well, my arm was jello, so I knew it was now or never either let the bow down or see what the two steps told me. I took my gut feeling that he saw nothing being only 25 yards out and decided to leave which my mind told me that meant he turned, so in one motion I slid on one leg from behind the tree while still focusing on my sights, I was ( lucky )? or right he was broad side, but I did make enough noise he was looking straight at my tree I was behind, the pin was on I hit the release, SMACK, he seen it coming he turned enough to hit him way forward, I am very lucky it made it through the bone, but the rage has treated me well, but in saying that I still believe being on the ground made the difference, there is no deflection on a straight forward shot compared to being in the stand with a steep angle.I hit both lungs and topped the heart. Man it's memories like these that keep the blood flowing and put me in a tree every day ( well when the ole lady lets me I mean )
