Guest cole1966 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi folks,after much scouting and stand placement tweaking I finally managed to get this buck in front of me on October 21. He traveled all the way across a bean field that had turned brown. I was set up just outside of a bedding thicket about 100 yards away from standing corn. The wind was perfect. There was about 20 minutes of light left when I look up and here he comes right towards me at 40 yards. At 20 yards he turns broadside and starts walking through a small grove of trees. I yelled at him to make him stop and he halted in perfect position. All I could see was his torso. I put the pin on him and let the slick trick fly. I heard a whack and he took off at a medium gallop and stopped only 40 yards away. I kept willing him to drop but he just twitched his tail and walked into some brush. I snuck out of the woods and came back an hour and a half later with my buddy and some flashlights. Much to my joy AND relief we found him dead mere feet from where I saw him enter the brush. I was so pumped up that my buddy thought I was gonna have a heart attack. But that's what bowhunting is all about right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldblue Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I like the picture and really like the play by play. I just love hunting stories.....I think it is one of the things that get us up at 4 a.m. to sit in a cold stand. We hear a story and get the thought that it will happen to us. Congratulations and well done! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
