Haven't seen any deer hunting threads unless I missed them.
Pretty much had a really good season so far with 8 deer taken with my crossbow.
It's more fun than my rifle but there are those times I wish I brought the rifle.
Got two doe 30 seconds apart last week with a quick reload after hearing another deer coming up from behind after I hit the first doe.
Hit the second one when she was looking around trying figure out what's going on.
They both ran 50 yards and dropped,within ten feet of each other.
Early season I had two epic shots with the crossbow from a ladder stand....one was a spike that I hit high lung and spine....dropped right there.
Two days later a doe was facing me up the hill to my left.....she winded me and was looking up at me but couldn't figure me out.
She kept looking up, stomping, then grazing....then she almost bolted but composed herself and put her head down again so I figured I better make this happen and nailed her between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck and dropped her right there.
Two more doe two days in a row last week and i got a really nice sized doe tonight with the crossbow with a 60 yard shot from across the valley on the opposite hillside.
I gave her 90 minutes before I tracked her by the way she bolted.
I tracked her for an hour in the dark and had a hard time finding blood since she ran up hill......I hate when they run up hill as they don't bleed much that way......finally I started seeing drops and good pools when she turned down hill.
80 yards later I found her eyes glowing.
4 more deer to go and my harvest record is full.......been a good season and needs to be because my family likes to eat venicin like friggin deer zombies....lol.
Life is gonna suck when deer season ends.
