After noon I sat all afternoon without any sightings. My wife contacted me on the 2-way radio telling me she was home and wanted to know how the hunt was going. I had not seen anything yet. I no sooner than put the radio in my pocket when I saw a buck tailing a hot doe.
They were sort of coming my way. I could see them crossing a food plot and I was maybe 150 yards west of them...with a west wind. I waited but nothing. Then suddenly I spotted 2 bucks following a doe. Then more! Several does and bucks. Then one doe came on the east side of me and a small buck on the west side.
Suddenly I spotted a bigger buck but could barely see him through the brush and he came from the south and went east. He came back a couple of times. Then a doe came on the runway which would pass at an angle to go behind me but a nice shot area. Aha, the buck followed. But both veered off the runway but still within range. The buck stopped twice with trees hiding the vitals. Finally he went forward and I took the moving shot. He did not go far and I was able to see him fall. It was a solid heart shot. I did not find the arrow but will look tomorrow. The back part of the arrow was in the chest but not the broadhead.
The antler is weird but I liked it so took him. I do apologize for not cleaning off the blood before taking pictures. I usually don't do that.
Congratulations. Very good shot.
