Williamsburg Bow Hunter

Well, another season is in the books and what a great ending for me. Shot a great 11 pointer yesterday afternoon and recovered him this morning. My shot was pretty far back ( dropped my bow a week ago and may have knocked the sight off, or maybe I just pulled the shot ) so I decided to leave him overnight after finding blood a short distance. Turned out to be a great decision. He went about 200 yds before going down. I’m sure had I followed him last night he would have gotten up and left the area. Anyway, couldn’t have asked for a better end to the season. Ready for a break myself. Turkey season will be here before you know it. Later…

All of you who think the season is basically over just hold on. I had encounters with two good bucks in the past two days. The one today was unbelievable! Check out the video. Later…

A buddy from Columbia, Baylen Moore, came down last week and we went on doe patrol. Had lots of fun. Video is up. Later…

You’ve probably heard me say I’m not interested in shooting a buck inside a fence. Well, that depends on your definition of “inside a fence”. Yesterday afternoon was my granddaughter’s third birthday and the party was at 6:30. That gave me just enough time to sit behind my house and still make the party on time, of course without extenuating circumstances. For some reason I felt lucky when I got into the stand. Maybe it was the very cold temps, I’m not sure, but I had no real reason otherwise to be optimistic based on my trail cam pics. However, my feeling was right on and I drilled an 8 pointer about 5:30, inside the fence I had put up to keep the hogs out. He went about a 100 yds and rolled up. I found him but had to leave him there until after the party. Made for a long, cold night. Hope to have the video up soon. Later…
