mQ1SHOOTER the area around me was very thick and very full of vegetation visibility due to this was about 30 yards around me in every direction. And yes I did hear him crash so I knew he was in the thicket of briars and tree saplings directly in front me however being dark and tracking without blood and very little light it was very tough pin pointing this deer in the thicket. Im also sure this is also credited to the inexperiance by myself. I mean to be honest with you when I shot the biggest deer I have ever seen in my life the only thing I was thinking about is if my shot was good and to not fall out of the damn tree from shaking so damn bad haha I mean being 18 years old and your third bow season and shooting the buck of a life time is incredible and a experiance I will never forget even though it happened so fast its all just a blur.
