not much primitive about this one, except my desire
« on: October 26, 2010, 01:19:13 am »
Hate on me if you must for posting this here.  I shot this buck with a scoped crossbow last Thursday at my lease in Granville County, N.C..  I only hunt with a crossbow because the car wreck I was in on 4-21-07 has left me unable to draw any of the bows I own. I can't even draw the recurve bow my Grandfather gave me when I was a kid 40 years ago & it only has a 40 pound pull. 

I am so happy to get back in the early Fall deer woods before the gun hunters start. I thought that part of my hunting life was over for good. 

This buck was following a doe, which lead him past my stand broadside at 20 yards.  It would have been a slam dunk shot with any bow. He piled up in 45 yards.  It is my best buck with an arrow.

That's a fine deer and I don't think anyone will be hating on you sir. Quite to the contrary. Any of us under the same circumstances would do the same. Not everyone can shoot a bow for one reason or another. Not a thing disrespectable about it.
Congratulations to ya on your fine buck!

I have no problem with some one like you with a legitimate disability using a cross gun. Congrats a great Deer! Maybe a primitive cross bow like some of the ones others have posted here could work for you?  ;)  ;D

 Beautifull Deer, Congratulations!. I've got no problem either. I hunt with everything. If I hunt Public land during Gun Season I don't even think about bringing a bow.

Very nice buck and great shot placement, Jim. Most of us are hunters and understand your situation. I have no problem with folks hunting with any method they want. I just don't think the ordinary guy should be allowed to hunt with a xbow during archery season.  Folks with disabilities have been able to hunt with xbows during archery season for a long time now and I have no problem with that.

First off....nice Buck...and secondly...there should be mo problem anywhere on this board with a person with a disability using a Crossbow to take game during Bow Season....that's like people getting pissed at me for being able to use a 4 wheeler on Federal Land...when others have to walk or ride horses....can't help they ain't handicapped...but I would gladly trade them in a New York Minute.....once again...nice Deer.
