Rainy day recurve doe

[tree_ghost]

Well I set out in January to challenge myself a little more in my hunting endeavors. I have been practicing almost every day since then with my recurve. I had a cluster of white oaks that the deer have been relentless on the last week or so. I figured with the rain today I'd have enough sound cover to slip in and get tight on them as the deer usually breed within 50 yards of these oaks. Well I got settled in my saddle at 4:00 and by 5 I had several does within 30 yards of me. It took a while for the shot opportunity to develop but when it did I let her fly at 16 yards. She fell within sight! This is my first deer killed with a recurve and I couldn't be more proud!

It was no walk in the park I'll tell you that. The guys that do this day in and day out are another breed of hunter. You can't just have a deer in range. You have to wait for the correct position and temperament of the animal to be able to draw and loose the arrow. I will say that when I'm recurve hunting from now on I'll be doing it from my mobile lock-on. It takes to much movement for me to swing around to a shooting position in my saddle that works for me. I do know that other people use their saddles very effectively with a recurve/long bow.
