Fall bow...

Anybody have any success? Scored this guy in zone 23. Public land. Between work and kids sports it was only my 2nd time out. Was looking for any adult deer to put in the freezer. Will get a euro mount done with his skull. 

Hope everyone has some success. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.

I took a spike last week.  Just got him back from processing and he's now in the freezer.  

20 yard shot from the ground.  Caught him high.  Not a quick as I would have liked, but it's done.  I'm hoping to harvest a doe shortly and then I'm done.  If I don't, that's fine too.  

Nice harvest.  Good luck with the rest of your season.

Thanks guys. 

It depends on where the bullet, arrow, bolt hits them. On average if you put a shot thru both lungs they generally will drop within site. 40-75yards after the shot had been the norm for me. This guy spun towards me as I shot so the bolt went straight in traveling the length of his body stopping in his hip. He went about 40 yards and dropped. The damage was catastrophic.  Gutting it was a mess.  Lol.

I have quite a lot of deer that pass through my yard. Do they generally drop somewhere close to where you hit them?

If you're thinking what I think you might be thinking you may need to rethink...

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
