MN hunter shoots two 8 pt bucks - one shot!
This happened a couple weeks ago about 20 miles from my house in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This hunter shot and hit a nice buck last year but couldn' t find it. He thought he had a high hit. A couple weeks ago while hunting in the same stand two nice 8 point bucks approached his stand. He shot one that gave him the first good broadside shot. His arrow hit its mark and both deer took off. He noticed as the second buck dissappeared, it left with its tail down but didn' t think much about it. He followed the blood trial and easily found his nice 8 pointer (looked like a 15 or 16" spread). He didn' t find his arrow. Backtracking to look for the arrow he decided to look where the second buck had exited the area. He found blood! Turns out he got both bucks! Both almost identical 8 pointers. The even more crazy thing was when cleaning the second buck he found his broadhead from the year before, lodged in the spine and completely healed over! Some luck!
