Hunted all weekend with lots of activity every sit! I had this buck come in on Saturday morning and couldn't get a shot. Back in the blind on Sunday morning and he came in with 3 other bucks. After watching and waiting, he presented me with a 20 yard quartering away shot. Being 15 feet in the air, the shot looked a little high! I backed out and gave him some time! Found him 150 yards away in heavy brush. Shot was just a little high and very little blood trail was picked up. We tracked him by site, ie. broken limbs, and long strides in footprints. I feel super lucky to have been able to take this buck for my first buck kill with my bow! What a crazy morning of emotions for me! Exhilarating, and yet very nervous and upset! Then the absolute joy as we stumbled upon him in the brush! He isnt a giant by most standards, but a trophy for me!

That's a big ole 8 point. I have to hand it to you for holding off for a good shot. A lot of rookies will take a marginal shot if they think the deer is "getting away". COngrats on a fine trophy which happens to be you first buck by bow!

Thanks guys! I am still riding high!
Anyone have any experience with Puma Taxidermy in Weatherford? My Taxidermist has had some things come up in the past, so he is out of commission. I obviously want this guy mounted, and was hoping to use someone local.

Great 8pt. I use double d in Dallas.
But I know that's a hike for you
