        I went down to my south ga lease last week and hunted with some friends for a few days.

        On friday morning, a buddy let me hunt a small piece of property that he has permission on, and it payed off for me.

        I was sitting there watching squirrels, when this young buck came out of the bottom to my right and stopped in a firebreak at 15 yards. The first arrow was tipped with a zwickey delta and it zipped right through him and stuck in the ground. The buck jumped and then trotted a few yards and just looked around as if he had no idea that anything was wrong.

        I grabbed another arrow tipped with a tree shark and put it through his front shoulder. He only went ten yards after the second shot. The tree sharks are amazing!!! Biggest hole I’ve ever seen from a bow.

        Anyway, this turned out to be the only deer I saw in 3.5 days. Great weekend!

          Jeez Etter, that is some hole alright! And I was literally just browsing the 3Rivers catalogue that arrived today musing over how effective those Simmon’s heads would be 8)
