Well I got an arrow in a decent buck this evening. It was only 8 yards (I was about 18 feet up a tree) and quartering toward me. The shot looked good, but when I got down the blood trail was week. initially there was some gut content then just spots of blood. from the impact spot and the angle I still think the shot was ok but just clipped the stomach on the way out (it was a pass through). Anyway I didn't track it far since the blood was not great and it was pretty much dark. It is supposed to be below freezing here tonight (not the norm so I got lucky there) so I backed out and I am going to go look for him first thing tomorrow. Hopefully I will have some picks. Not going to sleep well tonight.

One more close up of the rack, makes him look bigger. Not supper wide but lots of character, I am very happy with him. He goes 132.25. Not too bad for a public land deer. Now I will be chasing does. We can get a second buck if we shoot 2 does first, so I have some work to do if I want to chase another one in the rut. If I am only chasing does the rest of the way I still will be smiling. Good luck everyone!
