Thanks Kenny. Here is what I posted when I killed him back in October.
Well, here's my story. I'm 15 and I took up bowhunting with a compound two years ago, and killed a couple deer with it. But I was soon bored of lining up the sights and pulling a trigger. So for christmas last year I asked for a longbow and I got it, a 50# Martin Savannah. And so I became proficient with it and started hunting this year with it. Opening day I shot right over a small doe, and then I was really determined. Then, last week I shot a 6pt. and hit him a little too high and the arrow only went in about 2" needless to say he wasn't even hurt. So by then I was a little discoraged, but now even more determined.
So, this yesterday I went to our land in Surry county, VA. and went back to where there is some recently thinned timber between a cutover and a pine thicket. And my dad and I selected a tree and I put up my climber, and he went about 150 yds and put his up. This was about 3:00 in the afternoon. It had cleared up beautifully after the rainy morning, and the wind was perfect. Long about 5:30 I hear a stick pop behind me so I slowly turn and I see a nice little 7pt. walking straight to me. he came up on my right side and I got ready. Then he stopped broadside at 13 yards, with his head down. He didn't even flinch as the 2016 classic tipped with a 125gr. 4- blade Magnus Stinger zipped right through both lungs and stuck in the ground. He only ran about 75 yards and took a tumble. I could see the now red arrow sticking in the ground. I didn't really need to follow the blood trail but I did anyway. I have killed plenty of deer with the shotgun and muzzleloader, and a couple with the compound, and the satisfaction I got from harvesting this little buck was so much greater than my other deer it was unbelievable. And after that long post, here he is....
