Man.  That's the one in a lifetime one. Very nice.......Double drop tines are the most awesome.
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

WOW!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!  WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know why I hadn't looked at this before.  Guess I thought it was a bowfishing thread or something.  But WOW!!!!!!  What a buck!!!!
You obviously did everything exactly right, from finding an out of the way spot, not over scouting and making him change habits, waiting to hunt until the right time, making the shot when the pressure is on, and finally, following up a good hit but tough trail.
Persistence pays off, and you have given us all a leason to remember.
I might have already mentioned this, but WOW!!!!!!  :thumbsup:
