Well I got me a 8 pointer on 09/15/03@06:50 P.M. My brother at 05:15ish shot at a 8 pointer and it took off. He walked over to my stand and stated he had shot one so I said at 6:00 we will track it. At 06:00ish we walked about 40 Yrds from where the shot accord. (Swamp area) and jumped the buck and decided to layoff until morning. It looked like it was gut shot by the way it ran. So we decided to hunt his stand since its 2 stands in one tree. He brought his video camera with.
We got up in the stand and after about 25 minutes right in front of me a buck come out from the oak hill. He stood around facing me eating some browse then all of a sudden his head lifted up and started inhaling the air. I knew right then he was gonna turn and head from where he came from. He smelled us a tad. I decided as soon as he turned im shooting. Sure enough he turned to the left and i pulled back and fired and wasnt sure if it was hit being only about 10 yards away but the light was fading. My brother got it all on video and after replaying it we seen that it was a hit. We got down and walked over but did not see the arrow.
After about 5 yards into the woods we seen good red blood. By this time we got the flash lights out walked about 35 yards to the northeast and sure enough there he was. By the time we did our duties and got him to the truck it was about 09:00 pm. We called my brothers friend and told him about my buck and my brothers buck. We decided since it took so long with my buck were not gonna wait till morning and go track his. About 10:00 ish we took off to track and followed up from where we jumped it. We went about 45 yards and found him. We were all just in aw that 2 bucks from one stand within about hour 1/2 and one caught on video. I will never ever forget this. Thanks For reading this story of mine.
