Here is my accidental deer for 2021. Taken Sept 19. Had a crazy September and was studying for a new software operating system.

Wind was perfect so I decided to sit in a ground blind I had set up on our property. It was hot, hence the shorts in the blind. Went out not expecting to actually fill a tag. More of an extended study break. Was not in the blind 10 minutes when this buck came in.Took about 5 minutes for him to present a shot.

Bow is a Kota Jackrabbit 4728. I draw 29 1/2. Arrows are VAP 400 with 200gr VPA three blade up front. Total arrow weight is 520gr.

At the shot, buck went about 40 yards, stopped, staggered and went down for good.

Hardly an accident.

A lot of thought had to go into your choice of equipment and blind placement, and many hours of practice so you could make the shot when it was offered.

Excellent work!
