Very cool!

Congratulations, That is a good one, especially being take while on the ground.

COngrats on a fine buck.

Congrats Don! What a day to share with your wife...GREAT buck too pal  

Good job.
I hit a large doe at that spot in a rushed shot with my muzzleloader a couple of years ago.  Like you, I had never seen so much blood pumping out of a wound hole like that before.  They expire fast when you hit the large artery near the spine.

Nice buck, congrats! Great story too!

Great job!  Glad everything came together for you!

great job, what a trophy  

Great job Don!!!!!  I've always wanted to get one on the ground but to be honest with ya it just seems so impossible for me.  Keep it up!

Great stuff... good deer... Now you are really on your way.

Beautiful is right!
Congratulations Don, that is quite a feeling, isn't it?  Well worth the wait!

Nice buck,congrats..still waiting on my first trad deer.Missed one last year.

Congratulations on a great deer. I really enjoyed the story.

Great story and pic's was it a femoral artery?
How about some more info on what you had a Crackle Barrel...LOL

Thanks everyone !!!!!! I definately feel "blessed" to have taken him. I'm gonna try to answer a few of the questions that were asked, so bear with me.
