I was finally able to get an arrow into this good buck. I was busted moving in the tree a couple weeks back on his south wind beds. We had a north wind Friday and I had the first couple hours of daylight to work with. Well at 8am his running mate came through and got to their beds, when he came in on the j hook, I shot him quartering away hard at 17 yards. The god lord blessed me with a 150 yard track that was light, but I was able to find him in a huge briar/ raspberry patch. I am blessed to have good friends who realized how rare this buck was for me, they came and helped. They took very good pics for me to remember the day with. I am a blessed guy.
