As I hunted this eveing I was hoping to see the big buck I had seen two weeks earlier. At about 5:00 PM I heard a twig snap behind me. I turned around and there he was standing about 10 yds away. As he moved towards my shooting lane I got ready. I pulled back set the pin on my target and let the arrow fly. I hit my mark and deer bounded off. At about 40 yds I saw the deer expire.

I was pumped up about the hunting this deer and being succesful.

When I got home we ate the backstraps of the deer I had just taken. We all said a prayer again and thank god for our meal.

I just believe you can tell story without the "shock" value. HCH your story is just fine with me. There are a ton people who really do not care that we hunt, all I am saying is we do not rub them the wrong way. Call mePC, wussie, sensitive I really do not care.

HCH why is your buck so small[8D] I thoght they were all 190's in Iowa
