This was my first bow kill, but the best part was that I had both my sons with me. My 9 yr old was in our buddy stand with me video taping and my 13 yr old was about 50 yds away in our new hang on stand. It was Tuesday evening and we didn`t head out til almost 5:00 because the boys had homework. We hung our new stand off a trail where the deer usually come in our woods, about 50 yds off to the right of the buddy ladder stand. We were hoping to video my oldest son getting his first shot. I thought after all the racket I made hanging the climbing sticks and new stand there was no way we were seeing anything that night. By the time we are in the stands its after 5:30 and I`m sweatin` my butt off. Well, right off the bat we have turkeys walk in the woods. After about 10 minutes my son asked if he could use some of my calls, I tell him to try the bleat can. Just a few minutes after he bleats the 8 pointer comes walking up from behind us to the left. He stops about 20 yds out and I let fly, well it was not the best shot, not sure if the arrow deflected off some twigs or it was buck fever but the shot was too far back. I took the camera from my boy and looked at the tape, it was a kill shot but we better let him go til morning. We had a couple does come in about an hour later, but they never did get close enough for my oldest boy to get a shot. I found my buck Halloween morning, he had gone about 150 yds. Wish the boys could have been there for the recovery, but it had still been a hunt we will never forget.
