Excellent job. Congrats to him.

Love it Snagr! Congrats on the buck
 
First day of my rutcation. Did an all day sit. Had a shooter 9 point at 30 yards this morning at 10:30. I needed a few more steps. He was coming then he stopped and I could tell he spotted something, Here comes a little 6 point and the 9 wanted no parts of him around. Off he tore after the little buck and he ran out of my hunt. At 5pm, I had a pretty darn nice 7 point comes past at 5 yards the tempted me. I let him walk. Ended up seeing 6 bucks and 8 does. No chasing and all of the does had no bucks with them.

Thanks everyone.  

Shoulder shot with a busted arrow. Totally jellied half of the near side lung.  I was trying to figure out what that shot did till we got inside of it.  Front half of the arrow and the broadhead were floating around in the pump house after they did their job.  
 
Kinda funny to hear his story and recollection of the shot, and to see that it was probably a little quartering to him and not as broadside as he thought it was.  I was sitting 30 yards behind him in my comfy camp chair where I could see him in his tree stand but could not see the deer or the shot.  Pretty fun to watch him react as it played out in front of him not knowing what he was seeing.  
 
He's 6 for 6 with the cross bow (3 bucks and 3 does) and is happy that he got clearance Friday to start shooting his compound again after shoulder surgery this summer.  He broke both wrists last fall and couldn't use his compound for most of archery season last year either.

My 14 year old son got a nice 7 at 8:15 this morning in 2B to add to a doe he shot last Saturday evening.  
 
Lots of deer moving this morning.  He saw 3 other bucks.  

Tell him congrats! Been awhile since I checked the pages here.

Had the buck in the pic at 30 yds Saturday morning but couldn't seal the deal. I lost all my background leaf cover at this location now and even at 30 ft. Up in the air, coming in from the direction he came, I was skylined and he busted me. So disappointed... if he took that trail left, 25 yd shot.. if he took it right, 20 yd shot...but he decides to cut off it and come right towards me. Definitely got the heart pumping for the 8 min. Or so he was milling around under the honeysuckle 45 yds out.. just bummed I didn't get any video or pics of him...

What brand of bow everybody shooting? I had an older Mathews Drenalin....bows these days have really changed with looks and cams. Kicking tires on a new one but then I saw the price tag on some of these bare bows.
