I posted a few pictures in the Scouting/Trail Camera thread. Opening day was yesterday, August 10th. I scouted the day before and found a big 2x3. I put a stalk on him opening day, but got to 20 yards, and could not get a shot.
Found him and two other bucks this afternoon, and put a stalk on them.
53 yards, in a strong cross wind with updrafts, much stronger than I anticipated. I put the pin on his ham, and hit him in the spine, dropping him. One more shot into the lungs finished him off. Not a perfect shot, and my first archery deer, on my first archery deer tag.
Pretty stoked.
A good friend acted as Taxi driver, and my 13 year old daughter was along as well.
Now to prepare for the three tags she has.
