In Nov 1996 I came home from a morning hunt. I watched one of the biggest bucks i've ever seen chase a doe around my neighbors woods. My dad stopped over and he watched as well. Finally I could take no more. I grabbed my bow and went over there. I circled around and sat near the back edge of his property. a while later the doe came running full blast. She turned to my left and ran by me at 20yds. the buck was following. I picked an opening and as he ran thru I released an arrow. I hit him right in the shoulder blade. I got very little penetration. He was a VERY high racked 8 pointer and had unbelievable mass. I have one on the wall with 40" of mass and I know this one was thicker!
Needles to say I didn't get him[&o]
