Alright, I know I will get flamed for this but here we go.

So last night I got out in the woods early around 2. I sat in a new stand that I put up at the beginning of the season just haven't givin it a shot yet. Well I wish I had sat in it sooner because I had some serious opportunities.

I was sitting there when 2 does came out and started eating in the field that the stand over looks. 10 minutes later here comes a nice 8 point I was thinking great I can get a shot at this nice buck. 20 yard shot broadside no problem. I watched this buck as he just pins something out in the field just before I drew I look up and OMG here comes the big boy! 10 point 20" spread huge G2's ~10" tall just a huge deer. He chases after the big doe above me he is at 60 yards, the smaller buck walks right underneath me and back down the hill. The giant starts to walk away so I snort wheez. He stops turns and snort wheezes back. I do it again as hard as I possibly can, he starts to walk towards me then turns up hill. At this point he is at 49 yards and not coming closer, straight down wind of me. He is going to take off so I take advantage of the opportunity.

I range him again just to make sure and its 49yards again. I draw my bow, put the 50 yard pin behind the shoulder back a little because he is quatering away hard, and let it go. I shoot nockturnals and I watched this awway hit home right where I aimed.

Ok so now the catch. The arrow penetrated 18" before falling to the ground. This deer took off I watched him and he looked like he went down. I sat there for another 15 minutes collecting myself. I got down, went got my wife and we began looking. This was a textbook shot had blood at first but then it dryed up, and can't find the buck where I thought it "went down."

So what would you all do? I left the deer overnight in hopes the coyotes and bears don't get it if its dead. This deer should be dead, it was a long shot but it hit where I was aiming.

By the way I can stack all my arrows in the 10 ring at 60 yards.
