I’m hunting Wheeler this morning. I’m set up at the back end of a slough, trying to use it as a pinch point. I’m 40 yards from the edge of a bedding area. Good luck y’all!
Me and gcr0003 my boat in this morn to a area I love on wheeler. Lots of water back here makes the hunting better. My old man seen several.back here the other day. Rut is close where I am but not quite there just yet. Smoke one everybody!
On a skidder/wheeler trail on land that was in my club 15 years ago now its WMA. Big scrapes and rubs all along this trail. Scrapes need freshening, hope he comes through. Good luck guys.
Clean pass through and looks like good blood on the arrow (looking down through binos). Heres a picture of the shot I took. She had her leg raised and did a big loop around. I watched her 75 yards or so through binos before I lost her. Giving her plenty of time.
gcr, the last deer I killed with a bow was probably 10 years ago. It was about the spittin image of that deer you killed. A buddy and myself had leased 100 acres in central AL and there was no managed property anywhere around it. We just shot whatever we wanted to. I have only killed a handful of deer with a bow as I suffer from the yips pretty bad. That little deer walked out in the plot, I drew back and let one rip. She lunged foward when I shot and I hit her just on the bottom of the spine right above her guts. Now I already felt sorta bad for shooting at a little deer anyway, but when I hit her it knocked her down and she laid there and screamed at about 150 decibels for the last 20 seconds of her life. I felt terrible but the meat was good. I had clipped the artery that runs just below the spinal column.
