Very good buck! Doing it with a slugger is so cool.

That's a nice buck! Why do they even have bow/slug zones anyway?

I had crawled to about 40 but couldn't see enough of his body because of the terrain. I had to let him feed out a little and then I stood to get a good enough view. Quartering away. Went in near the last ribs and came out behind the offside shoulder. Wobbled about 50 yards and tipped backwards. Fun times. I crawled him for about an hour and then sat on him for another hour or so before he stood up. Had good cover and wind to get it done. Thanks guys.


What an exciting hunt, and what a good looking buck!
