Oh yeah!!!

Sweet!!! Do you have video on that guy?

It was getting dark so probably won't be too good
I have about a 1 mile drag and I'm alone
Hope to get home before morning

Dang that is cool!!!!

Wish I could help..

Man Im hopeing for one like him! Congrads! the pic of the piebald is it a buck or doe?

OK just got home,my back is shot but its well worth it!
Here's how it all went down...
I passed a nice 8 point and then a few minutes later 2 doe crossed 100 yds from me.
A few minutes later I caught move movement about 80 yds to my right, 2 nice buck! At first glance they both looked to be shooters. They stop and face off and hit horns a bit. Then they move behind some brush and they start fighting for real, antlers were cracking.
I then grab my grunt call figuring if they are getting giggy that they will want to investigate anther buck in the area.
Sure enough with in a few minutes the 1st one starts coming my way.
As he's coming in I decide he's not what I want although he's nice.
the 2nd buck starts to bring up the rear but half way to me he cuts off into the thickets. I think figures,damn it!
The 1st buck stops at about 25 yds looking my way and after a minute cuts away parallel with me. At this point the 2nd buck makes a fatal mistake and comes out of the thicket and starts to follow.
I scan and find 1 window at 30 yds and when he steps thru I release.
Initially I thought I shot over him, and was disgusted but I should know better. That arrow,slick trick and luminock passed thru him and stuck in the ground beyond him so fast it was deceiving!
He ran out in front of me and circled thru the woods,I heard a crash behind me.I waited a few minutes and got down to check my arrow and it was covered in bright blood,at that point I knew he was dead and I'd have my hands on him shortly. Followed the blood trail and he died about 75 yds behind my stand.

I checked the video and I have it all and its not dark!! Also have video of the 1st 8 pt I passed. It takes a while to get it down loaded and then uploaded to youtube so I will post the video tomorrow
I didn't get great pictures as it was getting dark but I took a few on the back of the jeep and in my shed. I have 2 deer to butcher so now the work begins!

Congrats Dan!!

He's a beauty. Looking forward to the footage...........You should age him and slam him on a scale.

Have fun cutting two! I did mine today, solo. Wife had to work and kids are always too busy when I need them. Wrapped back straps & tenderloins, canned 7 qts and ground the rest.

Now I know you are home safe and sound I can go to bed........

Heres the video a bit long but its how it happened in real time
You can here me grunt right at the start of the video,then a lot of watching and waiting as deer commit to come
At the 5:30 min. mark 1st buck shows and at 6:17 he starts to leave just after 7:00 minute mark the buck comes out of thickets and shot comes at 7:18 minute mark

Great job, beautiful deer. You seem to have it figured out - enjoy!

Wow, great deer, and super shot !!

Congratulations !!

Back in the saddle this morning
Have a couple doe tags and turkey is opened
Need to keep a pulse in what and who is around for gun season in about 3 weeks

Just breaking light doe passed by at 12 yds all alone

Pie bald just cut thru behind me just caught a glimpse

Look who's still hanging around!

Did you know that the reason for piebald animals is breeding brother to sister or offspring to parent

I did not , so they are like hillbillies from WestVirginia?

Why didn't you smoke the doe?
