You know, I think this is the first account I've read where the hunter did every single thing by the book. I know guys that have been hunting 50 years that would have made the wrong decision 3 or 4 times along the way. Congratulations on the buck, congratulations on your preparation, and congratulations on making a dozen correct decisions! 
Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.

Thank you sir....I was determined to find that deer! if that blood dog didn't find it, I would have sat out there for a week waiting on buzzards to show me the way and thoughts of helicopter rental were entering my mind! lol

That looks like well placed shot. Can't believe it took him that long to expire. Lucky you found him on such small acreage.

Congrats on a great Buck. I am 47 yrs old and this is my first year hunting whitetail. It's never too late to start.
Be calm brother, I see you and thank you. Your spirit and body nourish mine. Be calm brother; I see you and thank you.
