Quick find last night in Rockingham County. Full tree foliage and we are still executing at a very high level.

Lucky number 10 put us back on a dead streak. We have had a pile of non fatal shots the last week but were able to help get one on a tailgate last night.

Here is 7-year-old Gatlynn Hall with the 11-point buck she killed in Rockingham County, NC!

09/14/2026

Well its been an interesting 48 hours for this dad. We have two target bucks this year a big 8 and an eleven pointer. Saturday evening we went for Gatlynns first trip behind the scope at 7 years old. We saw the big 8 Saturday evening at 80 yards but he got spooked by a big flock of roosting turkeys. We gave it another shot last night with the big 8 making his appearance once again on the plot edge. After 40 mins he eased his way, at 715 he was 10 steps away from our shot zone at the feeder. The wind was in our favor but he froze at 45 yards, made a 180 and walked out of the plot. At this point Gatlynn had been a statue and done everything right. 730 comes in and the 11 comes up the same ridge with a doe but is more anxious for a meal. He eases behind the feeder and starts eating facing directly at us behind the feeder. A few minutes later after multiple stare downs he turns for Gatlynn to get a shot and THUMP. Gave him a few minutes and the first two drops of blood look like liver and are extremely dark followed by some red about 10 feet. After reviewing the shot it looked like the shot came out low so we backed out and called Carolina Crosshairs Thermal Services 😁. 30 minutes after the shot he had bedded down 75 yards behind the feeder and was obviously hurt but still alive. We ran a couple recoveries last night and got home at 1:30 this morning and checked on him. This time he was belly up. Woke up the gremlin at 6:00 this morning and we went in after him, he had been hit in the liver and the arrow deflected down through the stomach. Super proud of my girl and I continue to be amazed at the value of a thermal drone! This deer would have been bumped by anyone going in after it due to the short distance but we knew we had all the tools we needed to get the recovery. Video to come...

IT'S HERE!!

Opening day begins tomorrow for us in Central North Carolina. If anyone needs tracking give us a call 336-634-3764.

Remember do not push your deer if you are tracking a deer 500+ yards on a thin blood trail back out. We see a ton of non fatal muscle shots during archery. We only fly at night this time or year or before sunrise due to the heat so plan accordingly.
