RE: My first cross-bow buck, with pics!
Ok... Heres some details
Cross-bow - Excalibur Vortex
Broadhead - Slick Trick (100 grains)
Hit him at about 25 yards, perfect shot (unlike my doe), went through and stuck out the other side until he rubbed it off on a tree he passed... Considering it was a double lung shot he ran forever (approximately 125 yards or so)... HUGE blood trail.
I had just cleared a bunhc of shooting lanes the day before and he was nice enough to line himself up perfectly for the shot... When he was coming in all I could tell was he was a huge (body size) buck... I was hunting in a stream bed and the fog was so thick I could barely make him out at 50 yards, my scope wasa mess too... When I shot I thought he must have lost some points fighting as you can see he only has a three points on his right side, in reality that is all he had, no broken tines.
What you can't see is that he has a sticker, drop-tine like point on his left side, very cool, will get a picture of it tomorrow and show you. He is the most massive deer I have ever seen... I will never score him, because it will be pitiful.
Thanks!

Thats great! Congrats on your hunt! Did you by chance get him around the Delaware area? Just curious, have some friends that go down there very year. That is a nice one for sure!!
