dpms -> Opening day success!! (10/4/2008 11:09:32 PM)

Scored on my best buck ever tonight. Nice 3.5 y/o 9 point with very good mass and heavy body that I have been keeping tabs on all summer. Posted a trail camera picture of him here in August.
Hunted Washington county with my trusty Browning compound in the morning. Saw a small spike and three does. Returned to Allegheny County for my evening stand carrying my new Parker Cyclone crossbow.
Had 6 does feeding around me at 5:00 then saw two deer approaching, him and a smaller 8 point. Lost my marbles waiting the 15 minutes for him to present a shot, all the while the does were starting to realize all was not right.
He approached all the way to 10 yards behind a deadfall and finally stepped clear for a 5 yard shot. The Wasp broadhead did it's job and I after 150 yards of slow tracking I put my tag on a great buck for me. Couldn't be happier since I have been keeping tabs on him for a long time.
On the wall he will go.
Jeremy, I probably still will be in the woods that test week so keep me in the loop.
Here he is, enjoy.
