On Friday the 20th I went to a spot that I had a decent 9pt come in on me the last time I was there. It is a nice funnel that had some scrapes around it but they are since gone but still seems like a good spot to catch one moving through. I get up in my climber and not long after a doe is coming in then 2 more, they then got ran off by 2 dogs on one side and a coyote on the other side. Its ok it is still early in the day and I plan on sitting till at least 12 or 1. About 10 2 more does came up the hill then another one she bedded about 35 yards away. She finally got nervous and headed back down the hill. Then about 1130 I look behind me and see this buck moving about 100 yards away on the other ridge I grunt and can call and here he comes. He is about 8 steps and his antlers are blocking my shot so I had to wait till he takes a few more steps. I look at my bow and I feel like I got my bow,(limbs and cams) clear of the stand as I don't want to hit it. Well he takes about 3 steps closer so he is almost directly under me and I get a shot but forgot to recheck my bow. Ouch...bad news cam hit the stand messed it up kicked the sting off the bow no good.

Good news.. I managed to still put a good shot on him he went 20 yards and went down.


And of course he has to get his picture with it on here

Congrats

Hey Dave thanks for the tip but one thing is for sure if I struggle when I have training wheels I couldn't imagine without them lol. My mom would make me where a helmet afraid I would hurt myself lol
I am taking it to the shop tomorrow so hopefully nothing more than the cam.
Bo that's what I said it would have been a real bad day no buck and a busted bow. At least I had something good to look at. And my boy is eating this stuff up this year, with the doe I killed with him now this, and he likes to look on here with me at everyone else's pictures.
