Default Finally got one!!!

I finally got one with my bow this season.. It has been the hardest season ive ever hunted in my 20+ years. I havent even had a shot at a doe yet, and have only passed a few small bucks, and have blown three opportunities at shooter bucks. But on Friday,, the last day before our firearm opener, it finally happened, 32 yard broadside shot, and he came through an opening in a fence where i hung a stand planning on deer travaling through it.. It was the first deer ive seen from that stand this year.I rough scored him and green he came up at 124 and change,, so im hapy with him..

Great buck, congrats. Is that an entrance or exit hole we see in the photo? I'd guess exit. Just curious.

Biglouie,, thats actually the entrance hole in the pic, the buck was up hill a bit from me, so i wasnt very much higher than him when i shot, it exited low right behind the shoulder, kind of armpit area. he went about 75- 80 yards after the shot.

Way to go angus. Where did you take him down there? Your private land? I wasn't able to take one at Indian Trail but came very close the last night on a big doe but I was about 5 min. behind shootable light.[:@]
