Finally broke the jinx! Not huge but a good buck. Wasn't seeing a lot of activity but was seeing deer/bucks on my trail cams at night. This guy showed up after two does and a little 6 pt walked by. There was about 10 minutes of shooting light left. He stepped right into the shooting lane I struggled to clear earlier that morning. The shot was good and I watched him drop, that was nice. Still gave him 30 minutes, wanted to be sure the jinx was gone. Used a 51# at my draw, 54" Shrew CH, CX Heritage 150 with 50 gr insert and WW head. Here are a few pics.

Huge enough! I've known lots of guys who would consider that a buck of a lifetime.
Depends on your local hunting pressure, I guess.

Great deer Brother and that bow is beautiful.
That's a beautiful deer!
Really nice buck! Congrats!!
:thumbsup:
It may not score at the top of the P&Y record book, but that is a buck you should be very proud of, Mark. Of course, the Shrew Classic Hunter practically shoots deer on its own, so it is no wonder you got such a nice animal. Seriously, that is a great deer, and you did a great job in getting him!
