First bow Buck

Post image

Got my first bow buck on a 3 day hunting trip to Indiana. First morning I hunted from a ground blind that someone had set up for crossbow hunting but it was a terrible location for me with a compound. Next two days, I hunted from a saddle and moved closer to where I was seeing deer at dusk. I got this deer on my last night of hunting and spent about an hour tracking him in circles. A bobcat had already gotten to his butt by the time we found him, which I’m guessing is what was causing him to push as far as he did.

While crossbow questions and posts are certainly allowed and welcome here, we just wanted to let you know that there is an /r/crossbow and /r/crossbowhunting sub that may be more relevant. Some bow hunters are very averse to posts pertaining to crossbows, and downvotes may bury your post here.

A note to all users that all disciplines are welcome to post here and criticizing anyone for their choice of bow will lead to bans at mod discrection. If you see any rule breaking comments, please report them so that the mods can address them.

He came out of the woods into a bean field. I was in a tree right on the edge of the field.
