Ok... Heres some details

Cross-bow - Excalibur Vortex
Broadhead - Slick Trick (100 grains)

Hit him at about 25 yards, perfect shot (unlike my doe), went through and stuck out the other side until he rubbed it off on a tree he passed... Considering it was a double lung shot he ran forever (approximately 125 yards or so)... HUGE blood trail.

I had just cleared a bunhc of shooting lanes the day before and he was nice enough to line himself up perfectly for the shot... When he was coming in all I could tell was he was a huge (body size) buck... I was hunting in a stream bed and the fog was so thick I could barely make him out at 50 yards, my scope wasa mess too... When I shot I thought he must have lost some points fighting as you can see he only has a three points on his right side, in reality that is all he had, no broken tines.

What you can't see is that he has a sticker, drop-tine like point on his left side, very cool, will get a picture of it tomorrow and show you. He is the most massive deer I have ever seen... I will never score him, because it will be pitiful.

Thanks!
