I shot this guy at 9:15 thursday morning. I'd only seen one other deer all morning,a doe at 7:00. At 9:00 I figured I'd try the grunt tube and see what would happen. After the second calling session I looked directly behind me to the south, and about 90 yds. back I saw him coming directly at me. He chose the trail to the east and I pulled back when he went behind the tree. At 20 yds. when I felt good about the position and about where I could stop him, I made the usual doe bleet sound and he stopped. The arrow flew perfectly and I felt awesome about the hit, a perfect double lung pass through. He then spun around and ran for about 20-30 yds andthenstarted to walk. He walked another 30 yds and just stood. Right before he fell, his tail started wagging very fast because he knew something didn't feel right, and I knew he was going down. The surprising thing was, therewas very little fora blood trail, so I'm glad he went down in sight. He has an 18.5" inside spread but just doesn't have the usual rack of what's normally found on our part of the river bottom. I'm guessing bad genetics as far as the rack is concerned. He also has strange colorations. His face is very gray and white and he has shades of brown and gray on his body.






Also, what would you guys say for the age of him? He has a short face, but he had a very big body. He didn't have the sucked in stomach at all. There was a perfectly straightline from his chest to the rear of his body.
Anyways just thought I'd share.

Edit: could someone put this on the actual thread? I don't know why it won't work for me on here.

Thanks
