Got a double :tongue:

The doe came out early, 6:15, sniffed my climbing stix, and stomped once, didnt want her to blow the deal for the bucks I have been seeing in this area, and I wanted to get some vittles so I shot her at 12 yards, she went 80 yards and piled up.

The buck came out at 7:00 with another mid 120's buck, he covered about 60 yards in 30 minutes and I shot him at 45 yards, he went 30 yards and piled up just inside the timber. He had some ground shrinkage but he also had some neat junk, couple small kickers and drops and a forked brow. I also thought that he was 4.5 and the buck that was with him was 3.5, but now im not so sure, I think the buck that was with him was just a dandy 2.5 yr old. Im still glad I took him, nice buck, but the season is over for me Shootin a pro 38 at 67 pounds, Rocky Mountain traditions (did an awesome job) and gold tips. Thought id share, good luck this season to the rest of you, and thanks Danimal and TRS8804 for helpin me haul em out.

I get more and mroe impressed with every deer I shoot with the traditions, the Doe I shot a little back, but the arrow was buried in the dirt 6 inches, the buck was 40+ yards and that arrow was a complete pass through and in the dirt, and all this with a relatively light 360 grain arrow. Its either silver flames or traditions for me from now on.

Hey, nice shootin', Josh! I didn't know a Pro 38 could shoot that far. :heh: So is it gonna be a shoulder-mount, rack-plaque or Euro-style?
