OK! Now that I have basked in the satisfaction of dragging this out!
As I saw the deer approaching my shooting lane I could see a rack through the trees, I readied my Shrew and when the buck came into full view I saw the left side of his rack and it looked big enough.
I generally follow the "Let him go so he can Grow" principle, but it has been several years since I have loosed an arrow at a decent buck and I have passed on several smaller bucks, I decided to shoot.......so as I came to full draw I focused on a spot just behind the bucks leg and them "Bam" the arrow was gone!
His legs kicked out and he ran for about 50-60yds then slowed to a walk and disappeared into a willow thicket. As I was replaying the shot in my mind I got those old and familiar shakes and heavy breathing....If that feeling ever leaves me the hunt will be over.
I decided that I would give him 1 hour before taking up the trail. And a trail it was, even I could follow this with out hardly looking. After a short tracking job I found him just a short distance from where I had last seen him.
WHOO! HOO!
