Finally got some pics taken...
Shot this gut this evening with my ACS 49@27, CX Heritage shaft and Snuffer SS. The shot was 7 yards.
I had seen a couple does drop off the ridge above me about 100 yards away. I hit the Can a couple times and gave a couple light grunts. This guy couldn't stand it. He came walking straight to me. I was afraid he would walk straight under me, but he finally veered off to my right just enough.
He was quartering ever so slightly to me, but if I let him go any further he would have been in the brush.
After the shot I heard he run about 80 yards then I heard him make two choking sounds. I gave him 30 mins then walked right up to him.

Bad part is when I was starting to hang him, it had just started pouring rain. I had just lifted him off the ground, when the strap on my hoist broke. Both me and the deer went tumbling!!
Should have had a video, would have been good for a laugh or two!!

I had this same buck and 30 yards and closing on Tuesday, but a swirling wind cost me a chance at him that day. That was in another stand 1/2 mile from where I killed him tonight.
Also, I killed him about 100 yards from where I killed the buck in my AVATAR last year at this time.

You guys are awesome.
One of the most satisfying parts of yesterday, was the fact that it was the opener of muzzleloader season here in VA. So with guns blasting all around, I was quietly filling my second buck tag of the year. Now I really need to work on a couple does!!

Good shoot'n as usual Allen ! Nice buck.
I am trying to decide on hunting the late hunt with my ACS or a BW MAX, both are hunting virgins. Scouted our whitetail spots last week and the deer numbers are down considerably due to two very hard snowy winters in NE Washington but did see a few small bucks.
Congrats to ya !!

Great buck Allen, that's the way to do it. Love those Halloween hunts. A deer under 20 yards that has Allen Shafer in a tree above him has very little chance of survival.
