Alrighty.
this buck came in around 630 ish to a fairly new stand site, so it has the simple name of the new stand. original, huh? The stand is in a maze of bush hoged trails through hunnysuckle thickets. he came in on the backside of one of the thickets to where i could see good enough to tell that he was a shooter, for me at least, but it wasnt clear enough to make a shot. i first heard him at 55 yards and layed eyes on him at 45. i had no shot still. he came in and beded down at 30 yards. still no possible shot, i could barely even see him. 30 minutes later a doe walked in behind me and he stood up. when he stood up he spooked towards me and stoped at 15 yards, luckyly he was in a shooting lane. i drew back and let him have it. i knocked him to his knees and he got up and went right back down. my first buck with a bow layin right there. i made a couple hoorayssss before finally calming down enough to get outta the tree. i got down and put my hands on him. then ran the halfa mile back to the tractor to get him out before dark.
here he is….
