Deer Hunting in Louisiana

Finally

Finally after 18 years of bow hunting year after year, I finally got a chance to put one down for the count. I've killed many deer in my life with a gun but this experience is one I’ll remember for the rest of my life. This deer was 4 steps away from me along with 4 other small bucks. How I was able to calm down enough to draw back without being seen and make a clean shot, I don’t know, but I did it. After the infamous WACK, he ran about 70-80 yards and piled up. Not too bad for a fist bow kill and not a bad trophy in my eyes either.

    Nice

    TG, be sure and post the photo in the Nikon Deer of the Year Contest (www.louisianasportsman.com/communities/deer_of_year/index.php) to be eligible for some great prizes.

    Man, that's a great way to start out the bow season. Still waiting on my trophy bow kill.

    Yeah that feeling was incredible
    From the few mild heart attacks leading up to the shot all the way to recovering the deer

    18 years and no deer

    Ghost man, You must be one patient dude cause I would have given up long time ago. I am wondering how you it took you 18 years of bow hunting to get your first deer with a bow. Did you not hunt much, hunt a good bit and not see much or missed what you shot at? I haven't hunted with a bow that much but I am not sure I would have the patience to stick at it that long without killing anything. Congrats.

    18 years

    I hunt every year as much as i can. normally every weekend. I guess it took me so long cause the cards finally were in my favor this time. And i've never really hunted where there is an abundance of deer.
