    Ive only been a member here for a few days, but it must have given me some luck,

    Tonight, i shot my first archery whitetail. I was on stand for about 6 minutes when a doe came cruising up a ridge and into my shooting lane. The shot was about 20 yards, and she ran all of 75 before piling up.

    Heres the catch,

    Right after she had expired, i turned to see a GIANT buck sneaking out the way she came. He had to have been on her trail, but since this is my first year after deer with archery tackle, i couldn't resist the chance at spilling blood.

    Obviously feeling alot of different emotions right now, but extremely happy to get a deer down in my first season :D

    Congrats on your first archery deer. You will be hooked for life now.

    Yep...when you shoot a doe this time of the season you are potentially killing bait. ;) :)

    No, he hasn't been spotted in a while.

    One of my families good friends claims to have seen Freak Daddy run out of a gully from behind my house last Thursday.

    This gully is where my mineral site is located, and where 99.9% of FD's pictures were taken last year.

    I live right on the edge of the sanctuary farm where he spends most of his time.
