I shot this big dude on the 16th Thanks Decatur for the post about how to post a pic tried a couple of times with no succes
The afternoon started bad, wind was bad for when I was planning on going and actually bad for the whole land I was hunting I remember a stand I seldom hunt but at this point was the only stand I could go to, I get to the stand sit down, ready to leave! nothing had been cut (my fault) I had one lane to shoot. after about 20 minutes of trying to make the best of it I sit down on the top of my stand and pretty much call it a scouting hunt. (my first hunt of the year) I am sitting there maybe 5 minutes look into bean field see a nice buck @200 yds (we have all said it, man if he was closer I would shoot him) Insert lil can call I give it a flip 3 times, no more than I got it back in my pocket I look for him thru the brush, can't see him, about 15 seconds later I see him headed dead at me, remember I am sitting on the platform where I should be standing and it's too late to move lol @ 30 yds he stops at the edge of the feild and woods, thinking I wished I had that call that was in my pocket about now lol, he held up about 15 seconds started into the woods with my poor decision on sitting I had to do a 2 handed draw push with one and pull with the other (note to others not the easiest thing to do) lucky for me at about half draw he bent over and grabbed a big green leaf. So I am at full draw with dead aim at my 1 and only lane he cleared the tree I let it fly and it let out a whack looked like the 10 ring from when I was, but it didn't pass thru, 20yds later he took care of my arrow. I let him run off fire a text to my buddies climb down to recover half my arrow find blood, at that point my stomach rolls dark blood not alot of it either, I get my arrow and stop. Bear in mind I thought I smashed this deer no good lung blood more like meat blood, About sick I place the call for help a buddy was about to go out hunting instead come to my house to help (Good friend) it had been 1 hour on the button when we got back to the woods I replay the events for him we set off on the trail 20 yds after I stopped the blood is picking up but still not the "good blood" but staying solid and getting better about 100yds from where I shot he was pyled up against a tree. upon recovery I realized why there was no lung blood I did hit the 10 ring, thru my muzzy right thru his heart! Long story but wanted to share!!
