2016 buck  

  2016 buck2  
Man what a hunt, still hunting down a creekbottom littered with blow downs from hurricane Matthew a week prior. The deer already had a path beat down around them. This is the first time I've been in there all year. As I made my way around a root pack, I caught some movement about 40 or so yards away, it was antlers. The buck had put his nose back to the ground scent checking the many trails that cross the bottom. I slid down and over as much as I could, and the buck kept coming. At 12 steps he lifted his head and looked straight at me. He was wanting to come right where I was, and he wasn't sure what was in his way. He quickly decided to just go around the other way. He turned and headed to my right towards the tree top. I drew my 52# Kota Prarie Fire longbow to full draw and sent the grizzly tipped, Selfnocked POC right into the vitals. He was quartering away and the arrow took him through the last rib and lodged into the off side shoulder. The buck made a dash around the tree top and out of sight. I heard him stop, and go down. In the end he made it  roughly 60-70 yards in an arc around the tree and was down. I could hardly believe what had just happened, and  unlike some deer I've taken, the closer I got the bigger he got, I'm still stoked.
