Got a small buck

Got a small buck last friday.
28 yards, I was sitting on the ground with my back to a tree.
My heart was pounding so hard I could hardly breath.
WHAT A RUSH!!!

The Sun. before I had a doe walk in front of me 10 yards away.
I could hear her coming slowly past the pile of cedars I was sitting against.
Same thing I was sure she would hear my heart pounding, I could hardly breath. She offered a perfect shot but when I raised my bow she herd my jacket make a niose. Ahh. She turned right at me, I frose. She staired at me for awhile. Slowly lowered her head as to feed but I knew she was playing with me. Then would raise up very quickly, She did this five times I didn't move. Then the doe turned and went the way she came.
WHAT A RUSH!!!

thats what hunting is about;) whether its a big buck or a small one, its what makes you excited:)

congrats

ive taken plenty deer, but I always get that feeling no matter if its a doe or a buck before I shoot. But its nothing like seeing a HUGE rack coming and you know its coming to within 10-20 yards of you and that you are going to get a shot

Ya'all are a bunch of adrenalin junkies.

Sure glad that never happens to me.

That's exactly how I hunt. Back to a tree . . .nothing much between me and the deer but fresh air. I too need a lot of that fresh air when being stared down by a nice fat deer. Got to love it! Congrats!! What broadhead did you use and how far did it run?

another good reason why you dont take 80 yd shots

..you dont get that kinda rush from 80 yds...

Nothing like getting up close with one to find out if you can pass a "stress test".
