My 2019 Opening Day Buck

My season lasted a little over a half day.  I got into my blind at about 7 am.  Didn’t have any action until about 10 am, when a doe came in.  After she left, nothing went on till just about noon when a two point came in.  After that it was a steady stream of deer, couple spikes and does, till 1:30.

 I had about as much of the heat as I could take.  I never had been so hot in a blind.  I was wringing wet with sweat.  At 1:45 I had enough.  I got all my gear ready to go and took one last scan out of the blind to make sure I didn’t miss something.  I looked up the hill and here came a big buck down the trail a long with a 1x2.  I scrambled to get ready.  The buck came right in front of my blind at 15 yards and was quartering away. Drew, settled my pin on the last rib, and released. The arrow it exactly were I aimed.  The buck ran up the hill and stopped then walked off. I didn’t like the reaction of the deer so I gathered my stuff and went back to camp.  Decided to give the buck two hours.  

At 4:00 I started on the blood trail.  Not much blood. A few drops here and there.  When I got to where I last seen him, the blood quit.  Slowly I followed a few tracks and a couple broke limbs.  40 yards later there he was piled up.  The arrow hit the last rib and came out on the back edge of the opposite shoulder.  What an amazing day for a great buck!
