Buck Smasher

yeah, it would have been nice if there wasnt a dang lunar eclipse to complicate that issue on the 10th. lol. by the moon phase that was supposed to be the best day t hunt. lol I left at 5am with my girlfriend to go swap chips in my camera. I experiences the entire lunar eclipse which was awesome! Believe it or not I had does and bucks there during the lunar eclipse and they were there 10 min before I made it to my blind which was at 8:30 am.

Sounds good! I have been sitting in a chair practicing at home. I am also holding every draw I do back for 10 seconds at a time building that strenght and durance up.

I completely agree with the poudage! Accuracy kills not speed. My bow is 53 pounds and will only go to 60. I am working my way up but what a lot of hunters do not realize is that when you sitting freezing that 60 pound pull feels like 90 hahaha. I am so excited about this year. Thank you for your advice!

Thank youguys for replying so far. Good points. This weekend I will use my chair and practice from the blind. The hardest part is going to be pulling that bow back sitting down hahaha.

I have a nice buck coming in everyday and don't want to mess this up.

I have heard that being up that close, those suckers spot your movement. Am I going to have to lay on the ground and pull my bow back or what lol?

I am so use to standing up and shooting from a tree stand. I am going to be practicing sitting on the ground and build my strenght before Jan 1st but I just don't know any tips on how to pull it back in the blind with a buck 10 to 20 yards from me.

Help or tips is greatly appreciated!

Congrats to you and your dad! That is an awesome story! Just the odds of that happening are actually pretty rare in Arizona.

It is true. I know that back east even in the mid-west, whitetails have a roaming range of about 2 miles for their life. Keep in mind that these facts are from books that I have read. However, I know that these little coues are the same as the white tail back east when it comes to natural instincts. I do believe though that these coues deer are tougher and more intelligent than the whitetails of the mid-west and back east. Hint they're little "Ghosts". I am glad you liked this story! I get a kick out of it and still to this day my dad can't believe it lol

I understand your point. I have been hunting this mountain for about 4 years now. I also know every buck where I hunt. There are no other bucks on the mountain I hunt with dual eye gaurds like that. Trust me it is the exact deer. My father found the shed a year later after he shot it in the same spot pretty much.

Hahaha

Wow! I'm sorry :/. Did it have rabies?

About 4 years ago my father and I began to hunt coues deer. Opening morning my father shot this buck with a bow. I asked my father this " Dad, what do you think the odds of finding a shed from this buck would be?". To my surprise my father responded back "What kind of dumb question is that?". I laughed and he said "Don't ask me stupid questions like that, the odds are 1 to a million". That was the total conversation. Hunting season came the next year and we went to our spot. Hiking to our tree stands, my father stumbles across this shed. The words out of his mouth "I don't believe this! You know what son! Your a #&!%!! Hahaha". The moral of the story is never give up dreaming wild and big because you never know what will happen. I will remember this to the day I die and will someday pass this story down to my kids someday .

Good point. Exactly how far north do you plan on hunting? I hunt unit 22 and I always have great deer activity.
