Kansas 7 point

[BRONZ]

Saturday morning was a good one!  I'm in a stand of flat timber at the base of a ridge full of pair of hills that rise to cedar flats and feed fields.  Behind me is a creek, and passed that a huge field with a mix of corn and beans...both of which are still standing.
 
I am being tormented by a dozen or more squirrels; every heavy crunch of leaves makes me think a deer is coming.  Could be why I almost missed seeing a 130-class 10 pt moving on the other side of the creek.  I tried a range of calls, but he didn't want to come play.

About 30 min later, I see a flicker of white.  Using my binoculars, I see it is the 7 pt I saw the night before.  He is walking along the base of the hills toward me.  Now, I have groomed this stand for years by dragging deadfall around to make this natural funnel even narrower.  
 
At 12 yards, he stops sniffs the air, and looks up at me.  I squint my left eye and hold my bow limb in front of my face.  I'm waiting for him to turn broadside.  Instinct takes over when his head pivots left and I draw the Fox back.  He's on script and turns to look back, pausing long enough for me to aim and release.
The arrow doesn't pass through and I hear it break as he screams passed a large tree during his retreat. Even though I loose sight of him, I hear the "bull in the china shop" and I know he's fallen.  The rest is better with pics...
