Now that's a perfect shot! You lied to us though. You said he was an eight pointer What broadhead did you use? How did it hold up?
Set up on a trail coming back from food to bedding. Was pretty sure a group of bucks liked to use this trail but it was my first hunt there. Got up early as crap and made the half mile walk. Was to my tree a little after 5. Took my time trying to be super quiet climbing up. Got settled and the sun started to rise. Thermals were being super weird and the wind wasn’t doing what it was supposed to. He came in around 6:45-6:50 exactly where I thought he would. Came straight to the base of the tree before walking down the hill behind me. I didn’t think I was ever going to get a shot and had been holding for about a minute at my 6:00 position. Finally let down and he of course turned broadside. Drew back and stopped him at the same time. Settle the pin, checked the bubble, checked the pin again and let her eat. Impact sounded like I was busting concrete and the arrow was in him as he ran off. Initially I thought it was a bit forward and a bit low but the longer I sat the more I thought the height was perfect. I was worried I was too far forward though but he ran off absolutely destroying brush and looked to be bulldozing along down through the bottom. I thought I had heard a crash but I couldn’t see and then I thought I heard more movement after the crash. Waited an hour and decided to get down. Of course I got down and couldn’t get my rappel rope down lol so back up I went. Finally gathered my things and it was about 9am. Walked to impact, looked for blood, looked downhill and saw belly. Couldn’t believe it. Absolutely drilled him. The single best thing I’ve ever done for my hunting and confidence is build my own arrows. The vital V is where it’s at. I did not hit the front shoulder but went through the beefiest part of the offside shoulder. That leg was jelly. I got near side lung, clipped the heart, and all kinds of goodies in between. You didn’t need a blood trail because there was just a mowed down path but the blood trail was fantastic. Thrilled with this hunt and the shot.

Check it out guys. 13 more points for team 10. This is the buck I passed on the other night. Tempted me again tonight at 23 yards broadside and I caved. Double lunged him and he only went 30 yards and just stood there for a few seconds until I asked him out loud ‘’ Are you gonna fall over or not?’’ He then proceeded to flip upside down

My target buck has at least 2 stickers about 5 or 6 inches long sticking out at a 90 Degree angle from the base of his G3 on his left antler. He'll be fair game again Saturday as our general archery season opens then.Your bigger buck better have a droptine, @DroptineKrazy !!!
