Ive redeemed myself, MO buck down!
I dont know who all read the thread about the buck i hit wed(shot was above the spine), but i had been feeling pretty down about it until this morning. I decided to go the same tree i was in wed morning.I got to the tree at 615 and went up about 15' to 20' in my climber and waited for shooting light. Just as the sun was coming up i see a spike walking about 80 yards away on the edge of a feild, and he makes a scrape, pretty cool to watch. Then a little later 5 does come running through where the spike came through, they kept looking behind them but i never saw anything. Then at 815 i look behind me and there he is, munchin on acorns 45 yards away. I grab my bow and wait for him to get closer. He starts walking toward me then turns and walks strait behind me, so i have to move around to the other side of the tree. So i see a tree that he is walking toward and i range the tree so this time im for sure on the distance, its right at 30 yards. So he walks behind the tree and i draw, he steps out and i settle my pin and let the arrow fly. Turns out i drilled him but when i shot i thought i saw the arrow went high(it was a little high), i thought "oh no i just screwed up again". But he went about 40 yards from where i shot him, starting wobbling and fell over. I was pumped to say the least. He's not the biggest buck in the woods and the other buck i hit was bigger but im pretty dang happy with this one. I couldn't get the pics to load off my aunts camera for what ever reason so all i have are the pics on my phone. And im wearing orange because its the youth season this weekend.
