Here's the link to the video.

It was an awesome hunt with a great ending. My buddy was 3 trees over video taping the whole thing. We are hunting a parcel of land across from a park. It is loaded with deer, but it is only a couple acres big. We watched a bunch of does in the neighbors backyard. . We watched them for about 30 mins, when they decided to take off of and walk the other way. A couple minutes later we heard a bunch of leaves rustling and branches breaking behind us. My heart was pounding! It turned out to be a squirrel fight, man was i disapppointed. So my heart finally gets back to normal, when i hear the same noise again. I didnt even bother to turn around, i just figured it was the squirrels fighting again. Then out of the corner of my eye i catch a doe running through the woods. The buck was hot on her trail. She walked almost underneath us, and i thought for sure she would see us. I knew the buck wouldnt have a clue, his nose was to the ground and he had one thing on his mind. In the video he stops to rub a tree and it looks like i have a perfect broadside shot, but my buddy was over further and had a different angle. He finally stops making the scrape and walks into my shooting lane. I grunted to stop him, but he turned toward me, so i had to alter my shot a little. I shot a little far foward, so we look for any sign where my arrow had broken off, and we found some blood with bubbles in it. Knowing there was 6 inches of arrow in him and good blood, we decided to let him sit for 2.5 hours. We found him about 100 yards away, i took out one lung and he sprayed blood the whole way. It is our first kill on camera, what a rush!
