That's a nice one. Congradulations. Hap
Here is the story:
My ole hunting buddy Nook and Tenbeers headed out the farm we hunt regularly.We dropped TB off at a stand site and headed to a place we scouted earlier in the year.I went to a spot i had found which we named HeartTree Flat.
I headed to my stand site,that Oh what a feeling carma hit me.A nice split white oak with small 20 ft white pines growing beside it,You get the picture.Acorns on the ground and good cover,all we need is deer.That didn't take long either.
I was settled down in the tree with my Lone Wolf by 3:30.Fifthteen minutes or so went by and to my right a nice 6pt appeared but was heading away from me.I got on the ole grunt called but to no avail.I quess it had been 30 minutes and running right to me was a 4 pt.He stopped 10 yds out facing me.He all of a sudden looked to his right and out of nowhere appeared this 8 pt.
By this time i was in shock,watching the 4 pt watch the 8 pt.Not knowing which one would actually give me a shot.Then the 4 pt ran under my tree and the 8 pt took off.I thought it was over for seeing him.So I tried to get ashot on the 4 but he was right under me.Ever feel like you can't ever get your bow in right position for a shot?I was all over the place.I looked behind the tree and the 8 pt was standing there only 8 yds out quartering away so I tookthe shot,and missed,right under him,I think it all happed so fast.
I fumbled of an arrow while the 4 pt kept on feeding under me.The 8 pt only ran out to 13 yds from my tree and a little behind the tree I was in.I took a second shot and watched the arrow sink up to the feathers tight behind the shoulder.He bolted and as his was about to crest the ridge I saw the hind legs spread apart a he started leaning one sided and out of sight he went.I looked good.felt good but the luck i have had with shooting them high still haunted me.I called the wife,i callled BearPaw and stayed in the stand for 45 minutes.
Once i remebered where he was standing,which at first I couldn't for the life of me remember where he was standing,I walked past the blood trail and went to where I seen him dissappear.What a feelin to see your deer laying there,knowing that all the hard work,dissappointments and all others things we endure be rewarded in the end.As always my thanks to God and a prayer well deserved.I had finally got a decent buck to end my regular bow season.Thanks again Nook for helping me drag another nice one out of the woods.............Danny
way to go. :thumbsup: :campfire:
Didja get that elbow up on this one, Danny? :thumbsup: Congrats!
Congrats, Danny, on a great buck and a great story!
Congratulations, great job of telling the story. :campfire:
Hey Doc,
I switched back to a heavier broadhead and it seemed to help.Boy Talk about nervous,still in the back of your mind'Will I shoot high again'.Be honest I doubt I had much of any thing up there,in my mind that is. LOL.To answer your question I have been praticing that..Take care
nice buck,congrats
That's great Danny! I'm happy for you. Way to go!

Here is abetter shot of the head.You can't tell that i ain't proud huh,and he don't even score.
I didn't mention in the story,that when I went back to where I hit him.There was an enormous blood trail,the arrow came out in frt of the shoulders and the trail was amazing to see.I thought I would add that in.Thanks guys for the replies,it is great to share this fellow brothers and sisters of the sport.......D
That's one sweet buck!
Congratulations :archer:

Nice Buck, Danny!!
Congrats on the great hunt and buck!
Congrats!
Thats one nice deer. Congrats!
Oh Yeeeeeah! The Cool Springs group strikes again. Way to go Danny. Glad to be a part of it even if I could not be in the woods with you guys. I don't think I'll ever forget the phone call from the tree stand. Pretty cool. What do you mean, doesn't score. You know I'm gonna put the tape on that one!!! :)
I bet he scores more than you think. Anyway score is just a #.
The memory is way more important. I'd be real proud of that one too!!! Way to hang in there this season. Nice shot! Guess I'll get the story from Nook today on the rest of the weekend. I hated not being in the woods Saturday. Man what a beautiful day.
