I watched as the buck ran. At first it was all out, but shortly he slowed to a walk. His head began to hang low as he walked and finally he laid down in the short grass only seventy five yards away.

It was over in moments.

Staying behind the cover of the willows I lit a smoke and just stood watching. The prone buck had the attention of every animal in the meadow.
Slowly they started to drift away from him and up hill.

I'd wait until they were out of sight before crossing the stream and approaching my prize.

Still in my bare feet I crossed the creek and found a place to sit while I took off my ghillie and put my boots back on. The barefoot approach had been super quiet and actually was quite comfortable for the entire walk.

I approached the fallen monarch with arrow ready, but it would not be needed.

I was tickled pink to have taken this old boy. He was a fine specimen and I didn't regret not getting a crack at Old Crooked Horn at all.
I was proud to put my tag on this buck and was already making plans to make a space on the wall near my easy chair for him.

Brent and I got some picture of him where he fell and the usual "hero" pics.

And that would be about it for one day IF Brent and Vance hadn't gone off into the sage looking for adventure while I took care of my buck.
   :D  

I've still got a doe/fawn tag in my wallet and the sage hen season is just around the corner.

That is truly a trophy anyone can appreciate.  You couldn't ask for anything more.   Congratulations on a fine buck.  As retirement beckons, I hope to be able to do a few more antelope hunts in the not too distant future.  I don't wish to get older any faster than I have to but there are things to look forward to.

What about that other bloody arrow?

Great job all around Charlie. Beautiful buck, super job on the setup, and a story that put me back in a similar situation with three whitetail does a few years ago. Mine didn't pan out,lol. But I do remember it so it was worth something after all. Thanks for including us.     Grant  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

Nice goat, but there was one more arrow with blood on it in the tease pic and it was one of your arrows so I know there is more story.
