Ghosts Of The Woods

We have been busy chasing whitetails with our Mathews Z7 Extreme's in many locations and states.  Team "dirt nap" spent this last week in Central WI trying to take down one or two of these elusive WI magnums.  As you can see we were succesful!  We managed to harvest to nice mature deer on camera.  The top deer green scored at 145 3/4" and the bottom deer scored 135 3/8".  

I was behind the camera lens when Pete harvested the magnum in the top picture.  Needless to say I think I was shaking worse than him. This was the 7th or 8th buck we had seen running does around the corn field we were set-up on the edge of.   We had chances to harvest 5 different bucks on this afternoon, but none of them got Pete excited like this one.  This is Pete's best buck to date.  We let 2 different bucks with over 20" spread's walk.  That way next year we will have a couple super magnums and plenty of good shooters.   

This 10 pointer was another nice buck we took on film on Wed morning.  This deer was shot on film by my close friend Andrew Ward at 20 yards with the Mathews/Grim Reaper combo!  The deer ran about 60 yards and was piled up in the woods.  This was Ward's second ever deer with a bow and also his biggest buck to date.  Andrew had harvested his first ever deer(a doe) 10 minutes before this buck walked in and presented him a shot at 20 yards.  The Mathews showed no sympathy.  Congrats to both members of the crew for great shots on great deer.  I will be back in a tree filming this afternoon and then we are headed to the great state of MN to get after a few before the rut is over.  Until next time, Keep Livin the Dream!
