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!

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

He appears to be a bit portly. Should eat good.
