here is a pic of my wifes first ever deer taken by bow at 30 yards.
Me and a buddy went to a place i hunt in rossville, she got a babysitter and decided to go to battle ground and this guy came out about 150 yards she turned over her can call and he came running giving her a 30 yard shot, when she called me she gave me a breathless account of what happened and i told her to leave quietly till i got home, me and my buddy and her get out there and she tells us what way he went and the general direction she heard him crash from, he went on the neighbors property, i called and the landowner called but we could not get ahold of the neighbor, (whom i also process deer for) we found 1 spot of blood where he jumped the fence, no permission no one was home, so we went home and with just the one spot of blood figured she haden't got him as good as thought, then a week or so later our landowner tells us the neighbor found a deer the very next night after she shot hers, but he never called me or called back to the messages, so i call him and he tells me yes he found a deer the next night and he didn't think it was hers as it was shot farther back than what we said on the message, he also told me he had give the rack to a friend for rattlers.
Well the wife said just drop it its not worth starting a fight for a stupid deer and she would shoot another.
Now we are up to opening day of shot gun same neighbor's wife shoots a big 8 point and he drops it off at my house for process while i am hunting he calls and tells me he has a deal for me, if i want to bring my wife out and she says the deer he founds rack is heres she could have it, HE BURIED IT FOR A EUROPEAN MOUNT he appologized for lieing about it, and after one look we both knew it was her deer it was exactly as she had described it over the phone the night she shot it. So we called the local C.O. and he told her considering the circumstances and the fact she was gonna mount it to tag it as it was a urban buck, it was taken in tippicanoe county.
