Toby's Deer

IMG_5281_edited-1

On Sunday night Toby, took his first deer with a bow.  He shot it at 18 yards dropping in its tracks. It is a 3x3 buck.  Mattie was in a ground blind with me.  We saw lots of deer and actually shot a doe but did not find it.  Sam and Jesse were in other stands.  They are not yet carrying a bow.  Both saw lots of deer including one very large buck.

 

On Wednesday the kids had off from school so we went in the morning.  Sam and Jesse saw a couple of deer.  I saw none and Toby shot his second deer.  The archery permits have a bonus doe permit so Toby let a small buck walk and then shot this doe.  She was 26 yards away and his shot again dropped her in her tracks.  We now have lots of meat in the freezer.

I hope Toby knows not to expect deer to drop immediately everytime their shot with a bow! Wow! Amazing. Nice work, Toby!

PS. Feel free to ship any extra venison to MA (frozen, of course)! It's been a long time since I've had any ;)

Toby, great job. I shot a small doe the other night and it dropped immediately right in front of me.
Love ya,
