After the doe filtered away I hear noise and looked down the ridge below to see the buck coming right up to me crossing at 20 yards. My stand is 30ft up and it was a steep angle, I released after he stepped passed a tree and saw the arrow hit and then stick in the ground. The buck ran about 50 yards up the hill and stopped and just stood there. I put my bino's on him and didn't see an exit hole.I thought what the heck,I know I drilled him.I then saw blood on the inside of his leg and what looked like blood on the ground where he was standing. He took a couple more steps and layed down. Great he's done for I thought but he got back up after about 30 seconds and staggered a bit further and crashed into a deadfall. He flopped a bit and I could see him laboring and knew he was on the way out. A minute or so latter he was dead. The shot took out 1 lung and the bottom of the heart,exit hole was at bottom of his chest on the off side,hence not seeing the exit thru the bino's I snapped some pictures and got him gutted and then had to drag him out to the jeep.Got him hung and he weight in at a touch over 160lbs dressed Mathews Heli-m 70lb Gold Tip Pro hunter arrows and Slick Trick standard 100gr broadhead Arrow after the shot Deadfall he died in Bottom of heart shot Scale with weight more of the buck

Blasphemy!!!! Everyone knows you cant kill deer with fixed blade heads. And only 2" Blazers will stabilize a carbon shaft with fixed blade head attached:) Great shooting and a nice buck

Likely get out a time or two but next Saturady 16th gun season opens and I have a buddy coming up from PA to hunt with me so likely will get things in order for that Thanks to all you guys that followed along and contributed !
