Here is a buck we called Sparkler. I shot him the morning of November 3rd in all of about ten seconds. I thought he was a different deer that we wanted to get out of there when he jumped the fence and stood a mere 4 yards away. It all happened so fast, I didnt look as close as I should have. Either way, I am happy with him as any deer with a bow is a trophy. He was a young deer with lots of potential. I have to admit, this is the first year that I have dressed out deer that have had so much fat in them yet. This guy actually left NO blood trail. Fat had plugged the hole, and the gf shot a doe on Saturday that did the same exact thing. Either way, we are happy and still have two tags tags to fill. Needless to say, lesson learned looking more closely...Hes a 12 pt that grossed 137... Would have been a giant in 2 years (if he would have made it past the neighbors)

Absolutely. Great genetics on that guy and like you stated a bowkill is a trophy no matter what. Great shooting.
 
Agreed that everyone does it. Here was a big Whoops from a couple years ago. This one about made me cry.
 
That buck is bigger than anything I've seen from the stand so far this season. :(

Congrats and be thankful. :)
 
Congratulations on a fine buck killed with a bow, no easy feat!!!

What is done is done so worrying about the oops cannot fix a thing. Things do happen fast. I confess to worrying when walking up to my buck this year that I had thoughts in my head that I could have been mistaken on what I was seeing in those few seconds I had to make a decision.
