Ok here is the story! LOL!!! A buddy and I had made plans the night before to hunt the following afternoon. That night he took a doe so he was unable to go the next afternoon. I shoot a couple arrows at his house just to see if my new arrows would shoot well (They flew great). So off I went I wanted to hunt some new property but when I got there kids were playing in the yard. As I wanted to hunt a spot close to the house this just woulnt work. So off I went to where I usually hunt. I decided to hunt the climber. The wind was blowing pretty good. So I wanted to hunt down in the bottoms, as I thought the deer would be trying to get out of the wind. As I crossed the cattle pasture I had a little bit of a stand off with the bull, finally he moved on and allowed me to cross the gate. Once I crossed the gate I went in to still hunting mode. Moving slowly and stopping often as the deer bed on the ridge to the left. Once in the bottom I took an old cattle trail leading to the climber. Still going slow and quite the whole way as the deer also bed on a ridge In front of the climber. As I approached maybe 50 yards from my stand I saw what I thought was an antler move so I waited to see if it would move again. Sure enough it did! At this point Im 50 yards from my stand and he is bedded down 20-30 yards to the top left of it facing away from my position. Slowly I make my move being very careful not to let the briars snag me. Once within 25-30 yards the cattle trail stops. DANG! So now I have to deal with leaves and sticks. glad I was this close and didint have to go to far in them. I made my moves every time the wind would pick up once with in 15yards only a creek seperated us. I told myself calm down dont blow this as I drew it just felt natural  and the arrow was on its way. Thud yes good hit I thought as the buck jumped to his feet. He took a few steps and was down. As I sat there still amazed at what had just happened I text a friend to let him know. He brought his four wheeler (thak God) Dragging him up that big hill would have killed me lol. Any way my equipment was a Bear Super Mag 48 Beman MFX arrows with a Muzzy 125. Here is a pic from my phone still waiting for my cousin to download the good ones.

Excellent job. Stalking up on any whitetail is a great accomplishment. This is a greater trophy than a 200 inch buck with a gun or from a treestand.

Had this been a gun kill it would not mean as much its to easy with a gun just like a compound thats why I left them behind.
