timberghost Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Took me a while to post up the pics but here he is. I took him on Friday, November 13th and this is my 1st archery buck. He crossed a path in the woods at about 70 yards in front of me and my heart started to pound! I did not think that he would turn my way but he did, about 60 yards on the other side of a thicket. I grunted at him out of desperation and he just stopped and looked for a minute then kept on his way. I grunted again, a little louder and longer and it set him off! He smashed into some brush, thrashing it with his rack and circled around downwind behind me - giving me exactly a 23 yard shot. I sent a two blade rage through him and he went about 40 yards down into a creek and stopped. I could see his rack looking around and then wobble and then he dropped! He is at the taxidermist now and I cannot wait to get him back home! Any guess on what he will score? I am thinking mid 120's to 130. His inside spread is just shy of 19 inches. Thanks for letting me share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okbwhtr Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Sweet Hunted your state last year. Beautifull state and everyone was super nice there. Did a swap hunt with some buddies from there. Look forward to returning oneday. Once again very nice harvest. DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Awesome buck and it's great to have them react to calls. Looks like he'll come in around 120 to 125. Awesome buck regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberghost Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thanks for all of the comments guy's. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to take this buck, regardless of what he scores. I have taken a lot of deer with gun and my 1st doe with an arrow last year was awesome, but... I will NEVER forget the flood of emotion that I felt when I saw him go down. I was extatic and crying at the same time. My hand was steady as ever until I saw him drop, then I started shaking so bad I could barely use my cell phone to call my wife and son! I took this deer in Baltimore on my friends farm.
