Buck Down!! (updated story)

Well, i know this isnt with a bow but im excited and i talk to you guys more than the deer hunting guys. Its a nice main 6 with two kickers!! not a monster but a monster for me ill add the story later, ive got alot of work to do now

Story:

Well, this morning my alarm sounded at 545 and as soon as i woke up i noticed how dead tired i was, i said to myself i need to be out of the house at 630. I turned on sportscenter and watched. Apparently i dozed off for a minute and i woke up and it was 635.I got up threw my stuff on and was out the door at 640. I got close to the property line and i heard deer run out and i was like crap they beat me. I proceeded to get into my treestand and when i got situated, i started grunting aggressivly. about 10 mins later i hear something and i catch a glimpse of a deer about 70 yds away. It wouldnt stop moving so i couldnt get the scope on it to see if it was a buck.I grunted again and here he came looking for a fight, he got to 50yds and i let him have it. perfect heart shot, ran 30yds.I was in shock, it didnt register for a few seconds. I shot him at 700, i was out of the house a grand total of 20mins. Cant beat that. But i have a question, when i gutted the thing it had some little white worms in him, it blew his heart to pieces so i origionally thought heart worm but do you guys think itll be ok,

Good job Cougars. It is a nice buck, and it'sfine to show that buck here.

Be proud of it.

I am still waiting on my first buck this season.

Good luck and good hunting

God Bless

Where were the worms? What did they look like? How big, color etc.

Congrats on the deer. Call the DNR on the worms.

davidmil the worms were white in color, about as long as your pinky and about as wide as a hair, they resembled pin worms

well this was my first buck besides buttonbucks, i think i am going to get him mounted since he's my first buck

Deer suffer from parasites just like anything else. I'd suspect as long as the worms weren't boring into the muscle of the deer, you're getting rid of them as well. I would thik the meat would be fine. The picture looks as if the deer was fat and slick, in really good shape. I'd say he was perfectly healthy. Check it out with the dnr guys if you're worried though.

there wasnt an ounce of fat on this deer, could that be a contributer?
