The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan. Nothing like seeing your plans all come together so that you get that chance at achieving the goal.
Good account too at how a buck that's been hit may show little or no reaction to it. On another day, he might have made it into to brush before collapsing. Always search after the shot and search well.
Excellent buck and story, and thank you for sharing it with us. Now you're hooked for life.
Congratulations!

Great Buck I under stand your feelings I had to shoot my buck this year 3 times. I was disappointed with my self it was long shot 280 yards hit him high behind shoulders 2 times had to walk closer and make third shot . I think if it was always like that I would give up normally I make clean swift kill.
I know allot about everything-Everything about nothing!!!!

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
