I've seen him three times now, from the same stand. Once within shooting distance with no shot opportunity.

I hit him far forward, right behind the front leg, but low. He's got scarring from it on his exit side. It looks as if he was ok, the last time I saw him on the 1st, he was following another buck that was hot on the trail of a doe that had just passed. After seeing that, and replaying a thousand times in my head, he took a step as I shot to turn as if going to quarter away when I relased, making all the sense in the world where the arrow hit. Im just glad to see he is fine, and getting his groove on in the rut.
