Went to Tennessee for some pre rut hunting action from the 24-28 with my buddy. I ended up shooting this buck on the evening of the 26th. Came in following a doe and shot him from my saddle at 15 yards. Arrow nicked a twig and the shot hit a tad low left of where I was aiming. He mule kicked and I saw the arrow break behind the offside shoulder. He made a mad dash out of the field and into the woods. About 2 min later I heard a crash. I got down and examined the blood and decided to give him overnight just to be safe and because the temps allowed. The following morning I found him 90 yards from the shot sight. It was an awesome hunt! The only real stipulation I had for myself was that I wanted to shoot an 8pt or bigger. It was a cool hunt and I’m happy to have him!
