Ill have to post the story later but he was stalked to about 18 yds, and went around 130. First on with that hill bow.

Guys, unless the deer was quartering away and the shooter was in a tree, that is not a perfect shot. IMO

Contrats on the nice buck, Gio !

Ok well my morning started off real slow, I hadn't seen anything till around 930 when I saw three does. After they were out of sight I sat back down in my stand and as I did I dropped my bow. By this time it was around 10:15 or so, so I decided I'd just stay on the ground the rest of the morning and just still hunt into the wind. I slowly walked for about an hour, made my way back up to the same three does without getting busted so I thought I'd try and closer, I was at about 50 yds when I first saw them and could see another deer with them kind off by himself. He was positioned on one side of a hedgerow with his head down eating. I got about 25 yds out when I saw where I had to be to get a shot which meant walking right alongside him about 18 to 20 yds out till he got to the clearing. Well the wind was still good so that's what I did, every time he put his head down to eat I'd scoot foward, and it went like that for 15 min or so which felt like forever till I could get a shot in that opening. Once I got there I kneeled down and waited for him to get to the opening which put him slightly quartering away from me. He never knew what hit him, when the arrow hit he never reacted, just took off about 20 yds from impact I saw the arrow fall out and the blood start to pour. He went a lot further then I thought he would on one lung and no liver but hey he went down quick.
