Well after I saw this good buck the first time I was determined to return until I could close the deal. Taking one morning off to hunt another blind I returned each night to where I had seen him.  

The second time I sat the blind a big bodied medium antlered mule deer buck kept running him off of the feeder and the water. At one point he was about 20 yards out and I took the oppertunity. Missing right over his back. I was sick.  He never left the area and continued to run does.

Just before dark I had a doe at less than ten yards and made good on the oppertunity. My confidence boosted slightly I was ready to return.

On the third trip there I knew I had to keep the dominate mule deer off of the feeder. I was sucessful and at almost the exat same time as the previous night he returned hot on the trail of a doe.  

As the played the love game all around for nearly a half hour I was wondering if I woudl ever get a chance.  Finnally the doe went to water and the buck stopped to eat a bite from the feeder. I had to draw slow but my shot connected. I hit to far forward I felt but the buck went down instantly. I knew he was not spined and without a though or hesitation I nocked another arrow and made a solid shot through the lungs. He got to his feet and bolted. 200 yards later I found him.  A crazy hunt to say the least.

 

I really like how you presented this deer, VERY classy, and very respectful! Great shot and one heck of a trophy, wow
