A Warm Up for 450 BM Hunting:
I hunt because I enjoy eating venison. Some hunt looking for the big trophy whitetails and some like me, hunt for the meat. I got this buck on Wednesday night and I can guarantee you he is going to be a very good eater.
I always hunted with a compound bow but as I got older and due to some previous injury it became very difficult to draw a compound bow. Two years ago I got back into bow hunting, after a 20 year hiatus, when I bought a cross bow. This was the first buck I have had in decent range and I was able to get a double lung shot on him. We did have to track him about 120 yards in the swamp. The blood trail was very sparse at the start but then got stronger as we continued.
After we recovered him, we found why the blood trail was so sparse. The exit hole was blocked by a couple of tennis ball size blood clots and his abdominal cavity was full of blood.
Now waiting for November 15th when I can get out there with the 450BM,
