So i got stood up as the buck was trotting my way. He looked just like a beagle on a rabbit, nose glued to the ground darting back and forth. He came through the funnel just as planned, and when he stopped he was at about 10 yards slightly quartered away.

I was at full draw, but there were some little limbs between me and him, knowing how thick it is all aroubd him i decided to try and squeeze one through them. After that i went black. Id like to say i aimed, picked a spot, or anything really, but i didnt. O simply webt into auto pilot. Next thing i knew that black eagle arrow was buried to the label perfectly behind the shoulder a d he was tearing off. Up until this point i wasnt nervous, never had time to before the shot, but boy i lost it afterwords. I knew i had made a great shot on a good, mature buck, what kind of buck i had no idea. I honestly was sure i had shot a 120in 8point.

I gave the deer about 30 minutes. And by give the deer 30 minutes i mean i calmed down enough to get that summit climber down the tree safely.

Aaron met me at the bottom of the tree. He knew i had shot and beat me to the ground lol. We decided that we would look at the blood, if it was bubbly we would track, if not we would wait. We found the first blood and sure enough, all bubbles and sprayed on saplings.

The track wasnt a long one, actually had it not been thick i would have seen him go down. As i got closer to the downed buck i began to realize this wasnt the 120in 8 i thought it was, i had just killed my biggest buck ever.


 

 

 

When we found the buck all aaron and i could do was stand speechless. I had absolutely no idea that buck was like that. I know thats hard to believe but its absolutely true.

After plenty of pics and video, we got introduced to the joys of dragging out a midwest buck...gooooddddness it was ridiculous, my back still hurts!!

What a week we had! My ribs still hurt from laughing.

Equipment notes: #41 Omega Native Black
Eagle Outlaws, tipped with a single bevel Grizzly.

Thanks for following along and being patient with me! As i said we are still on the road and that place had zero service. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i did reliving it!! Good luck to all you guys the rest of the fall!!

Well done Dalton!  You are ruined now, time to pack up and move to Ohio?  Just wait till you see your first Booner in the woods and it's headed your way.  Talk about heart stopping!  I see that in your near future.
