Well, not quite a Monarch but he's another one of our cull bucks scratched off the list. 8 1/2 year old we have been trying to harvest for the past two years. He's lost about half of his antler size and mass since last year. A couple interesting things to notice during the super slow motion: 1. watch the arrow hit the feeder leg after it passes through the deer. and 2. look at the to bucks closer to me jump the string on my shot but my target buck didn't flinch until the arrow hits him and 3. look how high he jumps after he's hit. Full screen on a computer give you the best viewing. Enjoy.

Old boy just didn't have those young reflexes

Congrats on a fine old buck, there is something to be said about mature deer being smart or they would not have attained that age.

Awesome

congrats and thanks for sharing the video.

Cool video. Remind me not to try to shoot that buck in front.
