Congrats. Way to go on finding him. It' s always great to hear about the big one that didn' t get away.

I made this same exact shot years ago on a nice 8pt. Hit him in the same spot you hit your buck. The reason? A huge wad of gloves in my right pocket - the string caught on them kicking it to the right. He unfortunately ran on to private property and the owner was rather uncooperative.

Anyway, great job!
