October 29th was the night for me! Was sitting over a CRP field, and noticed a buck moving out of the creek bottom 100 yards to my left. I grunted at him, he looked up then continued walking. I decided to let him do his thing. At about 5:50 P.M. i rattled. Nothing came in right away so I was skeptical about how the night was going to turn out.
Right at 6 P.M. here this buck comes 30 yards in front of me! Did not see him before then. He was on a mission, and was all puffed out. He walked into 10 yards before I stopped him, and released my carbon express arrow equipped with rage broad head.
The shot was slightly quartering to me. I smoked him right behind the shoulder, and it exited out the other side right before the guts (luckily). He ran 40 yards and stopped. I watched him stand there and sway back and forth for a short period of time. He then crashed and I almost fell out of the stand with excitement. I waited til dark and climbed down. Found him right where he dropped and took some pictures, then got to work!
Off to the taxidermist soon!
. Awesome before and after photos as well!!!
