this is was by far the very best year bowhunting whitetails that i have ever had. I hunted 3 states was fortunate enough to fill 3 tags with very nice whitetails all with the very same arrow shaft !!! 
Aug. 2nd i had the second back surgery in 3 years and was facing another season without being able to hunt, I started an intense rehad program and got back in the game.
hunt no.1
the first hunt was in wisconsin, my buddies were in camp by halloween and my hunt began Nov.3. the report i got from my buddies when i arrived was incredible to say the least bucks chasing everywhere and not just the little ones either! by the time i got there 3 deer had already been killed a very nice typical 5x5, a whopper mainframe 6x6 with a split g2 and a small kicker off the main beam and a wide 5x5 with a forked eyegaurd and small forked g2's all very nice deer. The night i showed up a stought 4x4 was taken by a local friend of ours, needless to say i was stoked and ready to go!
the first morning i on stand i passed 2 16" 4x4's hopeing for something a little bigger, the next two days i saw deer just nothing i wanted to shoot. approaching day 4 of a 5 day hunt i was hopeing my luck would change and sure enough that evening i got to my stand around 1:30, the old shaky wooden ladder with a couple fresh nails was to be my perch for the afternoon. Being a rather warm day i was comfortable without the bulky clothing on and all seemed to be a nice afternoon when i heard something down in the ditch that my stand was located near. I slowly turned and looked
to see nothing, when i hear a huge crash out in front of me, to my amazement here comes 2 big does with a nice looking buck in tow.They ran around in front of me working there way up to a real rocky brusky knob when at that timne i lost sight of the does but could still see the buck standing facing his girls when from around the backside of the knob comes one of the does, she runs right back out in front of me and like i had hoped, the buck wheeled around and came straight off that knob on a string right to me, as his head dropped down to cross the ditch i cam to full draw, the buck popped out of the ditch and stopped quartering to me at 8yrds. My arrow hit right behind and slightly above the shoulder slicing his heart, he bounded out about 25-30 yrds and laid down within sight! hump the buck isnt a monster but a respectable 2.5yr old 4x4......that day he was the biggest stud in the woods and i am very happy i was able to fill my tag with him.
all the pictures are in the public gallery ....im the ugly dude with the hunttalk hat on!
