Been a little distant lately, haven't been on much. Hoping to change that.
Anywho, November 2, I got home from work to my wife looking out the kitchen window with binos at a buck that I had been chasing for a couple weeks. He was an aggressive fella and that afternoon he was out early oushing around another decent buck in the pasture. We were supposed to have date night with no kids, but she sighs and says "well go get him!". So I got outa the house as fast as humanly possible and was in a tree behind the house about 15 minutes later, call it roughly 1600. After 10mins in the tree, deer were moving, I saw 4 shooters. A little before 1700, a tank pops out into the pasture and was sneaking across and below me, I tried grunting at him, but some fellas entering the public property close by got into an argument and were being loud. He didn't like that and turned back around and went the way he came. I was focused on him and didn't notice the buck working towards me from up hill. By the time I realized he was there and coming he at or inside 20yards. I grab the bow and get him stopped at 8 yards. Shot was great and I dont think he realized he was hit. He made it 2 hops and stood there until he fell over. It was 1715 by that point. As he is laying there I realize it's the buck I have been chasing. I got a ton of pictures of him, saw in the yard when I let the dogs out in the am before work, and saw him fighting another buck on the road on the way to work, plus my wife and sister in law saw him 6 times driving the road. He was an aggressive buck and was very killable, I'm glad I was able to capitalize on him before he made a stupid mistake in front of someone else!
