Title: A late introduction and story with pics.

Hello gang. I have been a member since 2010. I don't post much just read and learn. Thank you all for the free advice and tips.

On November 23rd it was cold with 2" of snow on the ground. Perfect. I was hunting with a good friend of mine. We saw a couple of spikes. Then I had just finished rattling when my buddy motions me to get ready. So I stand up and lean against the big cottonwood tree I was using to block the wind. I look out to see tall antlers. So I watch as the buck works a scrape. He turns to walk the other way and I doe bleat at him. He looks my way. Then I grunted at him and here he comes. He gets to about 25 yards and I look at my buddy thinking he will be drawing any second. Nope he nods at me with his hands in his pocket. Now the buck is still coming and my heart is beating he is scanning the area and I'm trying to hold still. Then at 12 yards he looks at my buddy and I draw anchor and release. He runs about 30 yards and stops. I look back at where he was standing and see a bloody arrow. I look back and he falls down.

Hope you guys enjoyed the story. I am just glad to have such a good buddy who let me take this deer. I used my Hill Country Wildcat, Gold tip Trad, and Sasquatch broadhead.

Fine buck and finer friend. He probably help pull it out. Keep that one close. A hunting buddy like that is very hard to find.

Nice! I hope you allowed him to drag the buck out for you, too. That would make him an even better friend. Very generous of him, and he had a ring-side seat for the whole show. Good shot and congratulations.

Thanks for all the kind words gang. My buddy is a good guy for sure. We are going bear hunting next year. He shoots the other kind of bow but I sold him a recurve and he is practicing.

I bet you and your friend are cut from the same piece of cloth.

Obviously, you held it together and got it done.

That "read and learn" thing worked out pretty good.

GREAT BUCK!   :campfire:
