2023 East Texas Crossbow Buck
I pick out a particular buck every year from my camera pictures, and that’s the buck I hunt. I’ve watched this buck all summer, but he’s very rarely come in during the daylight. I thought I screwed up royally yesterday by mowing and planting a food plot where I‘m hunting, but evidently, the deer didn’t get too offended. I ended up seeing 11 does and fawns this morning, but they didn’t start moving until about 7:45. At 8:00, they all went on high alert, and the buck I’ve been hunting came running in. I wasn’t sure he was going to stop, but he circled around the feeder like he’s always done and gave me a perfect broadside shot. After the shot, he ran back up the trail he came in on, and after about 30 seconds, I saw a flash of white and heard him fall. He ran less than 20 yards from where I shot him. I’m pretty sure he’s 5 and weighed 178 lbs. It seems early, but he was rutting.
I shot him with my new Stryker Offspring, Carbon Express Speed Freak bolt, and a knock off of the Carbon Express XT4 broadhead.

Thatsvs dandy!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Congrats on a nice one. His neck is all swollen up for early October in TX. Not all deer follow the same schedule.

Nice work! Offspring and Katana were very underrated crossbows.
