2009 Buck

Well, I finally closed the deal on a decent buck today while hunting the extended. Hopefully the elk will soon follow.

I spotted this buck from about 100 yards today, bedded down under some oak brush at around 11:30. I checked the wind....made my way up and around behind this buck. I snuck up to 30 yards and
whistled to get the buck to stand up....he did, I made my move and the rest is history. I only had about a 20 inch hole to shoot through, because he stood up in the trees and the branches were over hung because of the snow. I smacked him in the front shoulder and the arrow went straight in, tore through the lung, clipped the top of the heart and hit the other shoulder. The buck took off, running hard for about 50 yards and then toppled over. He's only 22" from outside to outside...but I'm happy with him none-the-less. It was an awesome hunt and I was glad to have shared it with a friend.
