Title: 'Ol One Eye
Post by: FlintWalker on October 04, 2013, 12:25:03 pm
Just wanted to share a few pictures of a buck I killed Sep. 26th here in Ky.  I killed him with  my 47# Doug Rutter longbow (gifted by Tim Ott  8) ).  The shot was about 20 yards and a little high and back, but still caught the ends of both lungs. I didn't get to see him fall, but he only went 50 yards.  I've known about and hunted this deer for 3 years and never expected to even see him, much less kill him with a bow!  I know my equipment wasn't primitive...but it's been the highlight of my hunting career none the less.

I even took a shot from the tree just before he came walking up that old road in the right of the picture :)

What a stud! Thanks for the pics! I don't lean so much toward "horn huntin" any more, but I sure can appreciate them when I see em. And to take him early season is even harder!

I know Doug Rutter , his family owns the land where we hold OJAM , I've seen his bows and they are nice regardless , I've even shot one that someone else was buying .

That's absolutely great Shannon!  Congratulations!

You had me worried with your Subject wording, though.  For a second I thought I was going to open the link and see a picture of me! ;) ;D ;D ;D

I did shoot him on his bad side!!! >:D And don't feel bad about it either! >:D   I didn't realize I had such a grin,  I couldn't help it though! ;D
  The bow is nothing fancy. Clear glass over bamboo D/R longbow, pulls about 47# at my draw. Most days I shoot it a little better than my others  :-\
  Not primitive at all... but I'd shoot him opening day of rifle season just as quick :)
