Saturday morning found me in my stand right below the house a good 30 minutes before shooting light hoping that the buck I missed two Saturdays ago would show up again. Shortly after daylight I caught a deer moving through the neighbors bean field heading south towards my other stand on the west side of my property. I had hunted over by the river Friday evening and left my pack with my grunt tube in my buddys truck, but fortunately I had left my bleat call in my HSS vest. I hit the bleat 2 times and he turned and did a half circle and entered the woods about 100 yards straight downwind of me. I thought to myself well that's over as soon as he winds me. I went ahead and continued standing and looking just in case. As I was watching to the south where he went in I saw a deer running right towards me, it happened to be a small doe and she came through about 40 yards to my right, I was sure if the buck was following her he would take the same trail she had taken. A few seconds later I caught movement and heard the first grunt. My heart started pounding at the thought that he may just come in close enough! I could see him coming now, 80 yards, 70 yards, 60 yards,50 yards,40 yards, It was like he was on a string coming right down the trail that would put him less than 10 yards to my right!! at 30 yards he turned and headed towards where the doe went. I almost cried!! Then for some reason he turned again and was 15 yards head on and at a fast walk. At this point I was only thinking "pick a spot dummy, pick a spot don't look at his antlers!!!" He walked directly under my tree offering no shot! I waited until he was right behind me at 4 yards and I mouth grunted to stop him. He stopped and turned broadside as I was coming to full draw and focusing only on a spot right behind his shoulder. The next thing I remember was him running with my GT shaft buried to my flo yellow feathers and watching him go down on the edge of the bean field where he came from!!!! I had to sit down at that point because I was about to fall out of the tree due to all the shaking!
Here is a pic of my deer and my favorite hunting buddy!

This is the same Razorhawk that I killed my buck with last fall. Just a little touching up with a file and it was sharp as can be again. :thumbsup:

Thank you sir! and yes they are one hell of a broadhead. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the compliments guys! My son Briar is 7 years old but he already is an accomplished deer hunter. He isn't big enough to hunt with his longbow but he has already taken 4 deer in the gun seasons, his first at the age of 5! We really enjoy spending time together in the outdoors. I thank God that we are blessed enough to live in the country and own our own property. :pray:

Congratulations and nice buck...I remember my brother taking a big buck when I was little in 1972 and it was 206 #'s 9 point that is now hanging in my shop...I was 9 years old then and it left an impression on me that I still remember as if it was yesterday and that's why I love to hunt deer...That pic of your son and you with your buck may be what drives him to be like you when he grows up..I know how excited I was the first time I could go out hunting with my brothers...I felt like a hunter/gatherer to be able to bring home meat for the table...With 7 kids in our family it was what fed us through winter and helped in keeping the grocery bill down for Mom and Dad...Keep making those memories with your son and thank you for sharing your photo with us!
