Success - Archery Buck (Photos)

Recommended Posts

This buck evaded me back in September. I hunted hard the first two weeks of October and walked a lot of miles before finally crossing paths with him again on Saturday. I was lucky on two counts - the strong wind covered the noise, and he was too busy rubbing his antlers to notice me sneaking down the ridge. I put an arrow through him from 12-15 yards. The first shot was fatal (shoulder/lungs), but it was a little further forward than I would have liked. I put a follow-up through his heart because I hated to see him suffer.

I ran into Sasksheds on the way home and he was kind enough to put his own hunt on hold to join me for a brief celebration and snap some photos.

Saskbucks and I green-scored him at 197 4/8 gross non-typical with a 29 6/8 outside spread and 17 scorable points.
