Whats the story? Nice BUck.
iwent to my stand last eve. but i wanted to be over in a different spot so i left my stand, and went and stood by a big old rotten triple tree. and as light was starting to fade i see deer coming fast,from my left , so i scootched my feet around and got ready for a quick shot. he was trailing two little does, and they passed me at about 18-20 yds. i didnt step it off,i had about a 4 ft. opening where he would be quartering away. as he got to that spot i drew and anchored,ithink i did,it was pretty fluid. he did duck and roll away from me at the shot, the arrow hit way far back. so i knew it was gutt,damnit!. soon as he diapeared i slipped over to see any sighn and look for my arrow, i found the front 6 inches of the arrow without the broadhead. so iknew i had two holes thats good thing,RITE. better than one.so i backed out to come back this morning, i was all prepared for a long day of tracking. but i found him maybe a hundred yards into it. just got lucky this time...it is my first trad buck,ive taken some does, but this is the first with handles. i guess he layed down pretty quick after the shot. i dont think he died on his feet. arrow.
Nice buck,congrat's on the recovery. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice buck! Congratulations on him and for finding him. Good choice on waiting till the next day.
Keeping the Faith!

Nice deer! Congratulations!
I think you handled it as it needed to be handled.
Thanks for sharing.

Great job and patience! Nice story, short and sweet! Congrats on your first buck with trad!

congrats on a nice un! looks like a kill shot to me.
:thumbsup:
Congrates on a nice deer and great recovery!
Great first buck!!! Congratulations!!
CONGRATS!!
Looks like liver to me. If it was he was dead in 15 min or less. Nice buck getting him stuffed?
I think PA-spot is dead on.. He looks like a duplicate for mine except mine was a bit more straight across. Arrow hit a blackberry cane in the last foot of flight and moved about 4" If it was, likely he was dead inside of 2 min. Thats what mine did.
Congrats... good deer. You did it well
Good idea to back out and wait...glad it all worked out.Great deer!
Nice buck
way to go, bryant! Congratulations! way to be patient and I agree with the other guys....good shot and recovery! you did everything right!
:clapper:
( pa-spot) i do all my own taxidermy and for coworkers and freinds, and ive got plenty of pope-n-youngs on my walls already, i just dont think hes quite big enough to mount, just my first with stick and string, it wont be the last though, they get bigger from here on, i hope! thanks guys,glag to be apart of this site, ive learned alot,and il continue learning...arrow p.s. oh i might mount it..... :dunno:
Nice buck. You did the right thing backing off for the night. Congragulations on your first.
I must have been standing beside you because I ,myself, said out loud 'YES! YES!! YES!!!
Great recovery.
Nice deer and congrats on the recovery....
:thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper:
awesome story . i hit one about the same angle one time anddidnt recover it until about 500 yards later
Beautiful buck,congrats.Good job on being patient on what you thought was a questionable hit.Not always easy to do.
Well Done! Nice Buck. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
Great Buck! I've been thinking about picking up a bear.
I've found that a hard 1/4ing hit drops them fast..
takes out liver and a lung and down they go....
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great job congrats on your first.And you hit more than guts. :thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
:clapper: Patience pays off.
Good Buck good tracking
Nice Buck, Congrats, glad you found him....KYArcher
You done good in waiting. Glad it worked out for you.
That a pretty deer ya got. Nice shooting....Phil
Way to go,good job .I also think you hit more than guts. Great looking buck.
I always preach to my Hunter's Safety kids that knowing what to do after the shot is the most under-rated, over-looked part of bowhunting! Way to do it right and congrats!
Thanks for sharing, good story from beginng to end. IMHO you did everything right, well except it wasn't the perfect shot but you did right by backing out and giving it time. However I will say from the angle it looks like you done more damage than you thought. Personally I've never lost a deer that I poked a hole in the diaphram between the boiler room and the gut cavity. Bet he died quicker than you think.
Nice,I shoot cedar shafts with 100 grain magnus @55lbs do u think i will get good pen or should go heavier they fly good put don't know if they are enough. Is that a wood shaft in the pic?
Good looking buck...
good choice on coming back the next day...
Thanks for sharing...
Later.....Buzz
Congrats :thumbsup:
:clapper: :clapper:
Nice :thumbsup:
Good recovery and congrats. Most of the paunch hit deer will only go a little ways before bedding down. They will usually die right there if you leave them for at least 10 hours, if you jump them the chances of recovery after that gets iffy.
Way to go bro. Thanks for sharing. Bad hits can be lethal. Never give up. :thumbsup:
Congrats!

Congrats.
Congratulations! Nice Buck.
