Congrats on the buck and on a great shot. Stalking a deer is a thrill and actually getting the shot off successfully is hard to do. Good job.

Hi All -

Just got back from the butchers. The Buck weighed in at 152 lbs dressed. Anyone know what that might be in &quot;live weight&quot;?

He survived the night perfectly. Most of the ice had not even melted.

I've been going over the shot in my mind. In retrospect, I don't know if I would have taken that shot from a tree stand. Angle & all might have been intimidating.

I've been practicing 15 to 40 yard shots at ground level for months now; I think that the practice really increased my confidence and certainly my skill.

We couldn't find the arrow last night. It was a total pass-through. The arrow went in about 2&quot; behind the elbow going forward, but it came out on an up-angle heading somewhat rearward. Interesting.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone.


&quot;It's not the kill, it's the adventure and challenge! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>&quot;

Heck of a shot! Good job. I'm real happy for you.

40 yds would be a long shot from a tree. That changes everything.

Your shot sounds like the kind you'd take out west. Good shooting.
