Ok first of all when my mom picked me up from college and we were drivinghome, I looked into these woods and saw a deer rack and told her to stop. I now have a nice 8 point rack on the skull with just some minor chewing. This is the best part though....tonight I filled my archery tag with my biggest buck ever! Of course from what I've seen on here, my buck would look small but he is an oldie and a goodie! Here's the story: I get into my stand a little after 4pm. Around 4:30pm I look out into the field and see some deer moving towards the woods I'm in. It looks like some does and 1 or 2 bucks but they enter the woods behind me and to right in front of me. I keep watch but they don't come my way. Another half hour to 45 minutes pass and then in front of me here comes a buck! I stand up, have al ittle trouble getting my release on my bow because of the exictement,lol, and watch him walking staright at me down the one shooting lane. He turns to me left and is 10 yards away! I make a maaaa at him and he keeps going, I do it again, put the sight on his shoulder and release. THWACK! H kind of kicks, breaks the arrow on a tree and goes chest first into the ground and rounds about 30 yards stumbling on the ground into a creek then he gets up and goes into some pines about 40 yards away from my stand where I see him fall down and get up a couple times then I don't see him but I know he has to be in there. I call home on the radio and while waiting for Andy to come, I get down and pick up my arrow and find a very very nice blood trail. Andy comes, and we find the buck right about where I had seen him in the pines. My biggest buck ever, a 7 point and I would say my first real bow buck because my 3 other bow deerh ave been a button buck, small spike, and a small doe so this one is awesome; my 4th bow deer in 4 years of bow hunting, from the same stand, all taken in the evenings! He is a nice hefty buck and I've got some good photos so I will try to post them on Sunday when I get back from backpacking. I finally have an entry for the deer contest,yay,lol! If anyone knows of some good,free photo posting sites or would be willing to post them, please let me know. Thanks everyone and good luck to you all! cool.gifgrin.gif

Re: YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone, it means alot! I forgot to mention it was a a great shot, entered the shoulder, hit both lungs and nicked the heart; no wonder he only went like 40 yards! I also found he had a deformed hoof, part of his hoof was missing(the nail part) and it was like scarred and larger than normal. I think that is why the one side of his rack was funky shaped/lopsided,lol, but it is character! He won't be fully mounted but I'm going to get a nice plaque for his rack as my other racks are just nailed on the wall,lol. Thanks again for all the congrats and I'm hoping to get the pics on tonight, the RT pic thing was a pain last night, wouldn't let me log in or anything.
