Dear team,

I regret to inform you of my inept ability to take down an awesome whitetail on saturday december 3rd, 2005. My evening was perfect.. snow showers began at 3 p.m. and I was in stand at 2:30 p.m.

At 4 p.m. three bucks appeared about 80 yards away. After a tending grunt followed by a SOFT doe balling bleat the biggest buck headed towards me. At only 9 yards my arrow hit armor... "thwack"! I penetrated about ten inches through the shoulder bone.

The next morning I returned to only find 2 beds with little blood in them. Although I am certain this deer will not make it much longer it sickens me to not have found this deer!

He was a very good deer that would have walked into Pope & Young.
