Jimmyc Report post Posted January 17, 2012 January 7, 2012 unit 33 went to attempt my first archery kill. Spotted a nice 4X4 mule deer buck. Couldn't get closer than 150yards. Found a nice water hole with a man made blind from weeds and tree branches. After sitting there for 20 or 30 minutes a single pig came in and before I could draw back, it took off. 15 minutes later a coyote came in and was under a mesquite tree 35 yards away. Let an arrow fly, and killed that mesquite tree. It didn't drop. Must of missed the vitals. The coyote took off too. About an hour later spotted a javalina in the water bathing. He came out, with a heard of 5. They were coming to me, the first one to come into the clearing gave me a braodside shot. 34 yards. Drew back, thump! Then arrow was in the ground. I walked over, and it was red. Followed a really nice blood trail about 100 yards into the wash. My buddy Scott and his wife Anita rolled out to 33 and assisted in the Find. Anita yelled out, got him. It was awesome! Thanks for reading. Long time reader. First post. Here are a couple pics that Donna took. Thanks Donna, great pics. And thanks to Scott for helping me skin this sucker, had never done this before. Just like the title says, first archery kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
