oxcowboy Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 I have always hunted with a crossbow, but decided i wanted to try using a compound this year and got my first doe of the season on saturday evening. i got her coming in to a soy bean field about 5 o'clock. i have to say it was quite a rush to take one that way. one down and five to go(we can harvest up to six) best of luck to all the hunters and maybe the next time i can show off some antlers. jason
Skud Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Your son looks quite proud of his Pops. It's a great feeling knowing that you kept yourself together long enough to make a good shot. Very rewarding. Good job
Jay T Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Congrats on your first with a compound bow, that is a nice doe. This weekend brown is going down, I haven't been able to get out much. Good luck with the rest of the season.
misfish Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Good shooting. 6 DID YOU SAY 6? Oh my.Busy busy.

Daplumma Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Good stuff Jason.That first bow kill will not be one you will forget.Congrats! Joe
oxcowboy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 thanks guys, i was pretty excited. nothing like fresh deer steaks, should have her back and wrapped up ready for the freezer by thursday, one of my neibhors has a walk in cooler that i always take them to. jason
Dara Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Nice deal, but why did you bring it home with the guts still in it?
Fish Farmer Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) My thought to. Nice first just the same. Congrats Edited October 20, 2009 by Fish Farmer
oxcowboy Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 i understand what your saying, but she was shot about 300 yards off my yard. i just jumped her up on the back of the quad and brought her over to the garage and got the tractor and boom to raise her up and put the gut pile in a big tub, my parents own about 5 dogs and the organs and such are quite a treat for them. if i was way off i would have left them, but i have goats near the house and dont want any left overs that might attract coyotes any closer to my goat herd than they already are. hope this makes sense. jason
misfish Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Now yer just rubbing it in. Sweet deal.

richyb Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Theres no feeling as good as smoking a deer with a compound. Nice deer !
Daplumma Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 Nice deal, but why did you bring it home with the guts still in it? Its funny but I knew the answer before you explained it.I sometimes load mine into the tractor bucket and gut it at the butcher shop just up the road.A gutpile near the house just invites dogs and other stuff.Much cleaner gut job when you hang it and clean it up properly before putting it in the walk in to age.

oxcowboy Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Posted October 21, 2009 damn joe, we must be brother's from different mothers, we think way too much alike. deer hunting, goat herder's, nascar junkies and fishing fanatics and buddy's up the road that can cut up deer anytime. guys youh ave an open invitation, any OFC member that wants to come down{or up} can hunt my farm any time they want (200 acres). its in adams county which some of you deer nuts will recognize as deer heaven. amish deer. bout 7 miles from the farm.
Carp Posted October 21, 2009 Report Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) WOW !!! Definitely a dream buck. Congrats on the compound doe. I use a crossbow as well and have been thinking of trying the compound. We shall see...... Edited October 21, 2009 by Carp
