I'll add one thing. Kill that pretty deer outside the feed pen if the other buck is around. Don't chamber another round and don't make any noise or sudden movement from the stand. I'd wait at least 30 mins of not an hour after the dominant buck is gone before retrieving your kill. Dominant buck should be back under the feeder that Eve or next morning.

stx, you're killing me with spikes clap wonder if he got it?

If the back deer is behind the pen a distance and quartering slightly to you, I would shoot him hi-shoulder. Drop him in his tracks without anymovement. If he is in tall grass the other buck might look up or not. Slowly, quietly chamber another round and then kill the buck under the feeder. When shooting a deer back behind all the other deer it usually does not alert them if hit correctly. They just drop out of sight and never kick. up

just don't chamber that round until after the second buck is back at rest. He may stand there and look in the direction of the other buck. He may go right back to feeding and he may even jump out of the pen to go have a look at the dead buck. That's a great time to dump him. Easier pick-up! I like the shot stx suggested. If the deer is still and facing you, I prefer center of the throat patch. Guaranteed butt hits the ground first and the deer never moves.
