Matt from Madison County, NY recently came across NYBowhunter.com while surfing the net. He sent me a picture of a doe and buck he took this season while out bowhunting and it was Matt's first double!Early one fall afternoon, Matt made his way to the stand to get set up well before the deer would be passing through. Around 3 o'clock a flock of turkeys began crossing a ridge and Matt prepared himself for the chance at a turkey. As he watched the turkeys, sounds came from the bottom of the hill and a doe was headed straight for Matt. The hunter bleated at the doe to stop her broadside at 15 yards. The Rage 2-blade did its job and blood spilled immediately.
"Just as the doe began to run off, another deer was running towards Matt - this time it was a buck!"
Just as the doe began to run off another deer began running towards Matt - this time it was a buck! Matt grunted at the buck with his Primos Buck Roar and the deer began making a scrape and the hair on the back of the buck's neck stood up as it closed the distance within 20 yards. Again Matt drew his bow, settled the pin and put the arrow in the buck, not more than two minutes after killing the doe.
Both deer died within 75 yards of Matt's stand. The doe was no more than 50 yards away and the buck was in sight of the doe. It was Matt's best deer season to date!
Congratulations are in order for Matt and his archery double. I too had my best season to date and it's one I will never forget. The memories created while out in the field last a lifetime.
A double. That is pretty cool. Congrats. I wish I had a season that went something like that.
