Here is my September 2006 Utah archery deer. It's the first deer that I have killed and it was worth the last five years of passing on the pisscutters.
Me and my brother-in-law hiked about 3 to 4 miles and didn't see any deer. It was just about 1:00 in the afternoon when we heard an elk bugle. So we decided to go and take a look at the elk. We spotted the elk and as we were glassing him, I spotted some velvet antlers sticking out of the bushes about 20 yards in front of the elk.
As I glassed the deer, I saw that he was a decent 4 point. He was about 170 yards away and was grazing toward us. We waited until he got about 130 yards away and started my stalk. When I got to 50 yards from him, I took the shot. I hit him and saw my fletchings in hs ribs as he ran away. As he took off through the trees seven other bucks got up from their beds, three of these other bucks were nice four points. We had no idea they were with my buck because of the thick brush they were bedded in. He piled up about 100 yards from where I shot him.
It was about the most exciting moment in my life to date. I am very happy with it.
