O

4 point or not, I would've shot him nice job

Oh yeah all I noticed was he was mature that's why I shot him still a trophy in my
Boots!

I like the gnarly bases on that buck. And the hole in the horn is cool character too.

Was in Texas for 5 days hunting with my dad and got a nice 8 point, just got home last night and decided to sleep in today since I have work tonight. Cell cam went off in my food plot at the house and got down there before he left! Dropped him in his tracks with my 270!

Got a decent 7 pointer yesterday in East TN mountains. Love got him killed, came by my stand at 9am chasing 3 does. Not the biggest one on the piece I hunt but he will do! Feeling blessed to get him as busy as I've been with other things like family lately.

10/22/22, got my first kill with a recurve on my wedding anniversary lol saw him about 400 yards away at the bottom of a field. As I was sneaking down there he started to walk up a treeline heading my direction, I ending up crouching into some brush on the corner of that treeline before he got there. He ended up giving me a 6 yard shot

I have to give some credit to my Father in Law who was giving me some updates about how far there deer was from me via the phone lol "he's about 60 yards from the corner… oh.. he's trotting now, 30 yards away" that's when I hung up lol one of my most fun hunts!

Finally scored with a seven wannabe nine point in Knox County. Thanks to my son SES for a great hunt. Stuff good dreams are made of! Now he can concentrate on the bigger one that got through the power line with a couple smaller bucks chasing a girl!

It was a crazy morning! Saw 23 deer and several biggin's. I enjoyed spending the morning together.

Congratulations. Any method of take is a challenge but traditional is special.
Any specs on bow and arrows/broadheads? I finally have my shoulder working again and am practicing to hunt like I did over 50 years ago...

Thanks! I've taken my recurve out more this year than anything else, the few times I took my compound out after I got this buck I felt like I was almost cheating lol

The bow is a Palmer Classic that my Father-in-Law bought back in the mid 90's and gave me years ago. It's 62" and 62# @31". I'm drawing it ~58-59# or so with my draw length. He never hunted with it, he said he always felt more comfortable with his compound. So the cool thing is that this bow is about as old as I am and I was able to get not only my first recurve kill with it, but the bows first kill with it too!

The arrows are some cheap "Accmos" name brand arrows off Amazon, $36.99/dozen shafts. Pleasantly surprised with how durable, straight, and consistent these arrows are. I've got a 200 grain VPA 3-Blade 1.25", a 150 grain insert, and a 30 grain 2" 2219 aluminum footer on the front end. Total arrow weight is about 735 grains.

Wow, glad I asked. Great story. If bows had a soul that bow would be singing! I use the 3 blade VPAs but 175gn. Impressive arrow build...
Congratulations again and enjoy!

Not my biggest buck by any means but he sure put on a show, so was hard to pass up on public land this year. Pushing some does around and grunted at him a few times and came in to 50 yards bristled up ready to fight. Been a great season so far.
