Sum - nice buck - congrats!! he is a beauty! Sounds like you had a great weekend of hunting action - I took G out on Saturday in the blind - will post more about that later! - it was definately memorable - and I have some great video! - I have not had him in a stand yet - he is 5 and this is his 3rd year out in a blind for deer and he has been out 2 years for turkey. (No way he could sit still enough for a stand yet).

BBM - I like that pic! that smile says it all!

Fran - I am terribly sorry to hear that. a slight twig deflection could have caused the arrow not to hit squarly and affect penetration - or as dave indicated - lodged into the shoulder etc. Best of luck in finding him, you have put out the effort in hunting him this year.

Best of luck to everyone - I am outta here till tomorrow!
