Matrix Takes 8 PTR
It was a windy day...wind was blowing about 15 mph all afternoon. I really wasn't expecting to see anything decent as far as bucks. I was hunting with woods behind and to the sides of me, and a downhill drop in front of me. I hung a buck bomb with some Golden Estrus scent and hit my MADD deer grunt about five times. As I just finished some coffee, I hear and see a nice 8 ptr walking across the ridge in front of me. I have no idea where he came from, but I'm willing to bet that he heard the grunts and smelled the scent. I pick up the crossbow, and got him to stop about 15-20 yards directly in front of me, giving me a perfect broadside shot.
I sent a 17" Zombie Slayer (made by "excaliber") tipped with a 125 gr Muzzy Trocar crossbow broadhead. The arrow found its mark, hitting right behind the shoulder and makimg a complete pass-through. He ran about 50 yards and I watched him go down. The shot was taken in the afternoon and I had plenty of daylight left, so I decided to give him some time before walking over. He was my biggest buck take so far, so I decided to drop him off at the taxidermist. There is at least one bigger 8 ptr that I have seen on my trail camera that I'm hoping to see during gun season. Hope everyone has a safe and productive hunting season!

He's a real beauty! Congrats on your M355 buck.
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Re: Matrix 355 Takes a NYS Buck!
Thanks guys for all of the kind words. And thanks Dan "excaliber" for setting me up with those 17" arrows...they did the job. And I forgot to mention that I bought a custom string from Keith "nchunterkw" and couldn't be happier with it!
