This year has been a grind with warm temps and very little food on or directly around my property. I've passed up a half dozen yearlings and a few does, but with bow season winding down I figured I better take this gimme 15 yd shot this morning. Last years buck made it 25 yds. This one made a 200 yd death sprint but was probably dead inside 20 seconds. I gave him an hour before I took up the track and it took me another hour to find him tracking across an open goldenrod field. He was stiff when I found him. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/m2DrGzqb/IMG-3756.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9ffbdBg6/IMG_3761.jpg)
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

And a Southpaw! Nicely done. Classic bow and broadheads in my book. Old Fred would be pleased.

Awesome and congrats! Nice shot and recovery!
My hat is off to you trad guys. There are days when a scoped rifle seems challenging to me, but you trad guys are taking it back hundreds of years.
Well done!
