    Legacy- 2018 Deer Season

    in Big / Small Game

    Here the story.... got out of the truck at 6:30 and started up the creek with the wind in my face. Climbed over a log and fell in the creek, soaking wet now on my whole right side. My trusty mucks kept the feet dry and I shrugged it off and carried on. Made it to my climbing tree and started up( loudly too!, hate climbing in the morning). Before I could get settled the action started. Watched 3 different small bucks work the area and a single doe. I grunted and rattled to keep things going. It went silent.... 835 behind me I hear the distinct deep grunt of a mature buck. My butthole puckers and he is 20 yrds behind me!! I slowly stand up and grab my bow.... turn around.... my foot squeaks on the metal stand. A doe locks in on me but the buck is love struck oblivious. No shot! He turns away to chase another doe and stops in the only clearing I have to shoot. 40 yard pin on him and instinct takes over. Mayhem followed, I could only think worst case scenario!! Did I hit him.....Image1540497072.265037.jpgImage1540497107.931596.jpg

    Just stuck a giant at 900. 40 yard shot, chest, 9 inch penetration, good blood the first 15 yards. After I shot he charged hard. Then believe I watched him walk away wagging his tail violently. I backed out now I’m going crazy. Any advice??

    Man that’s a bummer. I think we’ve all done it once or twice. I still am a hypodermic fan. I believe any shoulder shot is a crap shoot no matter what broadhead we choose. Sounds like the deer is probably going to be ok. Maybe you’ll get another shot at him!!
