A few things I'll never forget about this morning....
Halfway to the stand,as it was getting light....the powerful smell that hit us like a brickwall....I whispered to Cade...."smell that?"...Cade says...."that's a buck!"....at the time I thought that hopefully it was sign of things to come...
Cade's reaction after the shot was priceless....and....all caught on video!
This was a big hurtle for Cade....his first "adult" deer....he's killed 3 deer prior. Two button bucks and one doe fawn. He'd set his mind on not killing another fawn this year.
In the past he'd figured out ways to botch up his opps at antlered bucks or big does. Just two weeks prior he'd messed up again on a buck. Not this day....on this day he'd "done it right"!!!!
He said he'd been "looking at the heart" when he shot, but had hit high in the chest...a great shot and we knew was a good one.....Cade says on the video," I think he ducked a little"...the deer had in fact "ducked", we have the video to prove it. We've slowed it down and 2/3/s of the way to the deer, his arrow was covering the heart. His shot was pinpoint perfect. It's amazing how far they can move in a fraction of a second!
What a morning!!!
