Had a great hunt Wednesday nite during the orange army season. Only had about 1.5 hours by time I got to the stand . Settled in , had a mini Hershey bar and promptly saw a fork horn across the little beanfield to my right. Beautiful evening with nice steady wind and sunny.
As I sat there enjoying the sit, a silent good buck was suddenly going thru my last lane on my right! I stood and turned as he crossed behind my tree and he stopped perfectly broadside at 17.3.
One prob, there was a 3” sapling covering the good stuff! So with my harness on good, I leaned wasaaay out and shot....... right over his back. Foot lower and I would have had a textbook shot.
He trots off and walks across the beanfield to my left, I sit down and whine and curse myself for blowing it.
Before I can finish that, I hear something to my right where the first buck came from. Holy crap , a clone of the first but has a broken tine . He works a scrape and heads my way, I mean straight at me, hard quartering to me. No shot , and he comes. I have my TD longbow at full draw and am going to have to turn around when he passes the tree.
Then something makes him turn off the faint trail to his left and he goes broadside. Still at full draw and the arrow is gone. Looks really good, and he bulls thru the brush to the beanfield to left of stand. He speeds across it and wobbles just before he makes the brush. Great blood trail and he is just inside the edge when I finally get down and follow.
Finally , my goal of a good buck during gun but using bow is met.
Thank you Lord!

Now that is an accomplishment! I would be proud of that deer with any weapon in any season,sticking with a traditional bow during gun season and bagging a deer like that is simply awesome. Nice job

That's what I will be doing Monday morning, the first day of gun season here in WV. Sitting in a tree with my Black Widow and my own wood arrows. Just can't stand to look through a scope and pull a trigger anymore.

Curious for my own good since I hunt in Missouri. I thought it was not legal to bow hunt during any firearm season. I know that was true but maybe it changed. Please educate me.

You can use a bow and even an atatl but must buy a firearms tag. Can’t use archery tag during regular firearms season. Kind of confusing sometimes!
