Went out for the first time this year on saturday night, didn't see much untill i noticed that i thought were tines in the weeds about 100yds out. sure enough, about 6:30, i saw this bruiser stand up and start feeding towards the corn field. I sat until dark and left for home hoping i'd see him again the next day.
Sunday morning, i just couldn't crawl my butt out of bed, so when i finally woke up around 8, i was kicking myself in the rear for not going. I broke the bow out for some more practice and waited until around 4pm before heading back to the same stand as saturday evening.
I was in the stand by 4:45, and it was pretty quiet so i thought i'd surf ingo a bit. The wind was out of the northwest (perfect for this stand). Nothing was moving around me but some chipmunks under my stand, so i was fixated on watching them when i happened to look up and see the same buck at 70 yards feeding on some acorns. I slowly grabbed my bow, and let out a soft grunt. It got his attention and he was coming in! I stopped him at 27yds, quartering away and let the arrow fly. He bucked and ran about 10yds into some brush and stood for a few seconds before staggering off into the woods.
I decided to back out and get some help, two hours later we headed back to the woods. He didn't go 40yds from where i last saw him.
I dont know what he'll score (cant find my tape), but i know its my biggest bow kill to date. Typical 10 pt, with the startings of a droptine on his left beam, dressed 210lbs.
