John Bags Another Doe

John hunted for two days. He hunted the Rock Ledge and saw 3 button bucks. That evening he went to his Pond Stand. A one legged wild turkey hen snuck in and about the time John saw the hen, it saw him, and putted. But it went into a shooting lane so John drew. The hen went airborne for 80 to 100 yards.

Later a button buck and little doe came it and ate scattered corn. The button buck kept looking back over its right shoulder. Soon a small and large does slowly approached. Daylight was fading but there was still good enough shooting light when the biggest doe turned broadside.


When he released the arrow he saw sparks fly off a rock behind the deer. He got down and could not find his arrow and found no blood. He thought he had missed.

The next morning, after hunting at the Point, John went to the Pond again and searched the area in the daylight. He saw small traces of blood on the ground and tracked them right to the doe 80 yards away in the open.

The shot hit both lungs but was a little high and the doe didn't loose much blood on the ground, which made the trail sparse.

John Askew took the doe with a Thunderhead 125 broadhead and he shoots 62 pounds. He wore, as he normally does, Sticks N Limbs camouflage. So far this year he has arrowed a wild turkey and two does. He is still searching for a good buck.

John lives in the Fort Worth, Texas area and has been a Custom Home Builder since 1983. His specialty is high end, totally custom homes.

John and I have bowhunted together when he joined the lease for his first bowhunt 20 deer seasons ago. We have had lots of super times and good hunts.

During that time we have enjoyed helping several people get interested in bowhunting, including his son Bryant who took his first two does at age 15. Bryant has been on Bowhunting.net numerous times since then and taken does, wild hogs, black bear and a buck.
