Well, I haven't had a shot on a deer yet, so when this kitty came in, it was all about turkey conservation. 30 yards, broadside. (I missed the 15 yard shot)



I couldn't find him even though he only went 40 yards. So i got the dog to find the cat. You would think that would be easy, right? Wrong!!

Nice kill! dont you just love mulit purpose retrievers?

nice kitty joel.

Congrats Joel! I shot one last year broadside and never could find it.

nice kill but you still one ugly mo fo

How do you keep your bow string from catchin on your belly????????????








I know I dont have room to talk but I had to ask........

Joel were you able to shoot at this cat twice?
Or did you just miss the chance to take a 15 yard shot?
I'm guessing that if you shot at it when it was 15 yards that you would be lucky get another chance. Tell us the story.

Congrats on the cat joel

Nope, i missed 2 times.
This little sucker came in at 9 when i had actually talked my self into forgetting the norm of scent control cause I hadn't seen anything the last ten hunts, so to heck with it. I lit up a cigarette. And there he came into the finger of woods I was in, out of a 4 -5 year old pine thicket. I saw him at about 60 yards and drew on him at about 50. Luckily he decided to come my way. He stopped, peed on a stump, and came in to 15 yards. He stopped at 15 yards, and my arrow was no more than an inch over his back.
He jumped and ran to about 10 yards in front of me as I tried to get an arrow out of my quiver that is tied to the side of my climber, with cig hanging out of my mouth, smoke in my eyes, and him glancing at me. He looked at me 2 or 3 times as he casually walked off. I finally got an arrow out and knocked it. He stopped at 30 and turned broad side to see what the deal was. I had to shoot thru some small twigs and leaves, but heard the arrow hit home. He then bolted, ran about 40 yards and piled up.

So, I sat back down to wait my 30 minutes to make sure he was dead. No more than 3 minutes later, here comes another one from a different direction. I only assume that the squirrel hunters were getting to close for his comfort.
Basically the same story with two misses and no cig.
He came in, I missed at 15 yards, he jumped a few yards and stopped at thirty. He jumped the string and ran before the second arrow got there.

The one I connected with was 31 inches from nose to the base of his tail and the second one wasn't to much smaller. He is at the taxidermist now getting mounted in an attack position that I am going to add a woodie to later. Hope it comes out as good as I think it will.

nice kill tool,

That will look sharp with him attacking a woodie.....a buddy of mine has that mount expect instead of woodie he has a quail in his paw

Hey thats a good kitty there Joel!
