08 was the last year i shot a deer with my bow so I wasn't going to be too picky.
  Saturday morning I was in one of my favorite stands in a corner of hard woods that was bordered by pines on both sides.  Deer use the edge as a travel route.
  I actually not seen a deer in this area the last two years until I saw a doe about 2 weeks ago.  Two years of a hundred plus inches of snow and unlimited doe tags will put a dent in the deer herd.
  It was a beautiful 27 degree frosty morning when i heard a deer approaching from the South which is where the deer usualy come from in the morning from the fields to there bedding area.  I could see with my binos it was a small buck.  I grunted at him but he kept on his path passing me at about 60 yards.  15 minutes later I heard crunching from the same direction the first buck came and saw two more bucks following the same path.  The first one was a nice 8 point followed by a smaller buck.  They weren't coming my way so i grunted at them and the smaller buck lifted his head and started my way.  He came behind my stand at 10 yards and the arrow was on it's way!  I hit him high in the back and he dropped in his tracks.  I quickly dispatched him with another arrow.  He had 8 points with a narrow spread.  I guess it's better to be lucky then good sometimes.  I shot him with my Robertson Stykbow Tribal Styk.  Gold tip 3555 shafts and 175gr. VPA heads.

Congrats on your deer!
