I got out Thankgiving night and had some luck. I saw this buck twice before rifle in his bedding area. One time I had him at 30 wrecking trees and grunting after I snort wheezed him in but no shot...way too thick and brushy. My son and I hunted everyday of rifle and never saw him or any larger buck.
I figured he might be holed up in the thick stuff where I had seen him before. Sure enough, right at closing time he came walking out of there and came below & behind me at 20 yards. I think the only reason he stopped was because he just started to catch my wind but it was too late.
He ran about 60 yards and expired. Heart & lung shot. My arrow broke off and I couldn't find an exit hole in his off side. Figured I had hit the offside shoulder but was suprised to find my broadhead with a piece of shaft near his knee on the offside leg. That broadhead must of hit the shoulder and then followed his leg bone down.....pretty wild.
