I was lucky enough to arrow this guy on October 30th.My personal best buck so far! I was pretty pumped .It was late in the evening and I was getting ready to come down out of the stand.I had a long walk ahead of me and I like to be able to see just in case I walk up on a deer on my way out.I had everything tucked away and was literally about to climb down when I heard some heavy fast foot steps coming my way.I knew it must be a buck so I got ready and he walked   right under my stand.I shot him at ten yards and he ran out into the bean field about thirty yards.He stood there for a second but I knew I had hit him well.Then he wobbled and went up on his hind legs and down for the count! Maybe five or six seconds.

Nice buck Ben!  Looks like he was a fighter with that broken brow tine.  How much did he weigh?

We didn’t put him on the scales but the butcher said he was 250 + easily!
