Twinstrikes first deer

This fun started Saturday ended Sunday
Twinstrike first harvested a turkey
Then Saturdays sit was fun to say the least

First doe appeared then her twins showed up

Then another lone doe come out then her triples appeared

Then another doe and twins behind her
10 deer in front of me Saturday night no bucks

But a fight breaks out

Then I heard crashes behind me my gator side by side is parked behind my blind hmm
Then six point walks out super close to blind on my left put crossbow up only have butt shot he’s looking at the does and fawns. Then he turns giving me a shot pull trigger Damn safety is on argh

Click safety of have to wait just butt in my face then once again he gives me side shot shoot. He give tiny little jump and just starts walking to my right

I’m thinking I missed I shot through screen and that shot ripped 3”x6” strip out of screen

Does just turn and look at blind like what was that sound. Buck walks slowly but I see the wobble wobble
Now he’s to my right 6 does in front of me and I hear crash

He made it maybe 50yd then just walked into bush and crashed

So what your trying to say is that it didn't go as planned :)

I got out of the habit of leaving the safety on once the firearm/xbow is loaded and pointing downrange. No need for it to be engaged unless you move it away from pointing down range. Cost me too many deer in the early years making that mechanical click when I was set to shot.

Congrats on a decent Buck...his behavior sounds like he was in Rut already. How was his neck ? Hard to tell from that angle in the pic.

Beautiful buck and cool story and pictures ! Well done !!!
feels like we were there, appreciate it.

I had fawns so close to me Sunday I could have touched them I’m sitting there running through cigarettes like a chimney lol

Buddy’s are texting me for gawd sakes shoot something

So tell me 33 scraps in 3 days there is groups of 3 scrapes 3’ apart 6 scraps are out in open pasture field 4’ around dirt thrown 8’. What how many bucks have just shown up. It’s not from that 6 point

I better cut back on the sugar dump

Nice deer......well done!

That's one awesome weekend of hunting. Lots of deer and a successful shot on a buck. Congrats

Wow, that's a lot of deer. More than I see in an entire season sometimes.

Congrats on a nice deer. Did you find your arrow?

Took dogs out no bolt found but female found first blood 23.8 yd that means my first shot with safety on was 12yd or less

Male dog went from first blood following blood trail to where deer crashed 50yd need to use dogs more

It's a whole different Deer world in S/W Ont...no wonder the successes rate hovers around 60%.....I think its around 20% here in Eastern Ont. Never seen deer in those numbers in the 25 yrs of hunting here.

Right on, great pics, congrats on a great buck.

Congrats on the deer. You've seen more deer in a day than I usually do in a season. I was at Sail the other day and they had a Twinstrike on display. I picked it up and really liked the feel but I can't justify the amount of money since I just got a new xbow last year.

What broadhead did you use?
Congrats on a great hunt

This !

I lost the biggest doe I've seen in my life last year because of that click.

If you aren't gunna click your saftey off another way is to put fingers on both sides of your saftey button and slowly click it while holding the other side of the button.

That's a lot of scrapes. Usually a scrape line will be on a field edge with rubs and scrapes all the way down.

My guess is a couple young bucks out sparring and showing off to each other strutting their stuff around.

Congrats on the fine buck. Your going to have a lot of bucks around soon with that many pet does, ha.

You might be onto something about sparring ground is soft with all rain we had. But tracks are deep by scrapes out in the open
Couple new ones today others refreshed
I would have never thought one deer could eat a bag of apples so quickly

That was a great account of your success. Awesome pics, congrats

I think we are getting a little rutting action. This cam I have at a buddy's hasn't had a buck on it all summer until the last week. I was in my blind last night and heard a grunt followed by raking tree branches but wasn't interested in coming to me yet.

big reason why im not quick to pull on a doe with fawns. would have in my early hunting days, before i had goats and sheep. not so much any more. cool picture

Really have to feel sorry for her. Not done with last years and bucks want to knock her up again.
No wonder when you shoot a doe they go for 100 plus yd

Congrats you had an awesome weekend

And here he is boiled out
