My first monster
 

I harvested my first real mature whitetail sunday october 9, 2005. He is a very nice 18 pointer. I have alot of pictures I want to upload but it says the file is to large. If someone can help me out and tell me how to do it or let me send them the pictures and you do it for me, it would be much appreciated.

Hunting on Sunday? I am so used to PA rules. Do most other states have Hunting on Sundays? I know that it is brought up sometimes in the PA Game Commision meetings but it never gets approved. 18 Points I want to see that!

Here the story behind the buck. I was hunting sunday evening over a scrape I stumbled upon a few days before. I hung my stand about 10 yards off the trail I thought the buck was running to the scrape. About 10 min in stand two button bucks come down the trail and start eating acorns around the scrape. As I was watching them they took off running directly under me and now were behind me about 20 yards. After watching them graze behind me I turned my head around and was watching in front of me. I hear a stick break directly to my left, I figured one of the button bucks was back but when I turned my head what I saw was amazing. The buck was in between 8-10 yards from my stand when I first saw him when I shot a couple seconds later I was practicaly shooting straight down. I hit both lungs missed the heart but he only ran about 60 yards. I shot him using my mathews featherlite. I was using the crimson talon broadheads which I will never use again. I had no blood trail at all from those. I only had a drop here and a drop there took me all night to recover that deer. Scared me a few times when the blood trail ran out and we struggled to pick it up. But in the end It was an unforgetable day. Does any one have any guesses on what he might score?

RE: My first monster
 

What you doin' shootin' something like that, you just cost yourself an extra $500 bucks this season!! Just kidding, that is WELL worth the money it will take to put him on the wall, and I'm sure he will go great with potatos and corn too! ;)

BIG congrats to you!

RE: My first monster
 

165 gross looks fairly close. I think the way you hit him may have caused the lack of blood. If you shot straight down I would think the wound would clot very quickly with fat and tissue which would slow or almost stop the bleeding. Might not be the broadhead's fault.

RE: My first monster
 

that's flippin incredible!

RE: My first monster
 

Awesome story and incredible buck! One I'm sure you'll admire forever! I'd agree with cmscat50, it looks like it will gross in the mid 160's. Awesome buck no matter what it scores! Congratulations again!

He is definetely one "mature" buck,Congrats on atrophy buckof a lifetime .

RE: My first monster
 

Congrats!!! Awesome Buck!!!

RE: My first monster
 

Incredible deer! Congrats.

I've found that every deer I've shot at a severe downward angle (nearly straight) has left little blood. I figure that entrailsare beingpulled down by gravityand block the hole.

Anyway, way to go!
