bowsniper Report post Posted August 25, 2008 The Lord blessed me with this buck opening day. I had been hoping for a 5 by 5 that I had been watching, but he disappeared a few weeks ago. I guess that this guy was quartering a little more than I realized when I shot, so the arrow exited out behind his back lung, and then re-entered into his back hind quarter. But with the 2.5” Rage expandable hitting only one lung, he only went 40 yards before he piled up. I was surprised to see how devastating the hit was to his hind quarter, all the bones were completely shattered. It was nice to be done on opening day for once, so I hurried home to get my 12 year old son (kidbowhunter) and took him on his first archery coues hunt. He’ll be posting his hunt soon. There have been some fine bucks hitting the ground the last few days. Congratulations to you guys! Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
