I grabbed my binoculars for a closer look.  All I could see was me arrow sticking straight up.  No movement.....I checked again.....no movement.  And again, and again.

I pulled out my cell phone and made a quick video, the one on my first thread.  Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

I called my daughter next.  I told her to sit tight and that the does would soon be out and I in no way had any affect on the deer she was hunting.  She laughed and said I'll be there in a second!  A few minutes later I see her running across the field, her pack and gun safely back at her tree.

Following lots of hugs.....here's how it played out.

The video wont load for me!! UGH!?! LOL!! Great looking buck from what I can see Tim!!! Nice job!! Nothing better then sharing a successful hunt with your daughter or family!!    

Great buck and video Tim-congrats.

Very Nice Presentation on the video!! Congrats on the experience and the great Buck!! That is so well done!! amazing!!!

I apologize for the arrow in the deer, I should have ran up and removed it for the video.  

The arrow had broken through the shoulder and wedged in the opposite one quite deeply.  I had one heck of a time pulling it loose.

The beauty of this hunt was that we still had plenty of light and I had my camera along.  Amy took several photos that really capture the moment and the wonderful leaf change going on this time of year.  Here are a few...

     

And here is my tribute to my "Hunting Partner"!  Thanks Miss Amy for a wonderful afternoon!  LD
