Yesterday morning I was watching 3 doe that were a good 70 yds away for about 20 minutes from my climber. I figured there were no horns around so I held the bow down and just watched. I heard something almost right under and behind my tree stand so I slowly looked back and down and nothing. I heard the leaves move again so I turned all the way around and WHAMO. There was a 6 or more point Albino walking by my stand at about 15yds away. He was steadly walking and by the time I had the chance to draw I only had a but shot. I waited to he began to turn broad side and he stopped. I let go and the arrow hit under his feet. I followed him threw the peep the whole time and did not recognize that he had walked about 25-28 yds. I aimed as though he was 20yds. This was only my second shot at a deer ever. I was so excited about him being my first bow kill that I forgot about the distance. It was a beautiful thing and it took me a few moments in order to decide if I should draw. When the arrow hit the ground he studdered about 3 steps and slowly walked away with his tail down. What are the odds I will se him again monday????

Well from the way you described the way he reacted after the shot, it doesn't sound like he was really spooked, they may be pretty good odds if that is a regular travel route for him he will be back, good luck and keep us posted.
