Got a 7 point this morn
As planned we went to the farm. I know there are way better bucks, but I couldn't hold off. I'm old, sick, and impatient lately, I ain't got forever anymore LOL. I'm grateful for the harvest Dear Lord, Amen. I will post a trail cam pic the Kid showed me on the way home. I saw 15 deer today, and got a video of one too small for even me to shoot! The Kid had a nice big 10 point, but could not get a shot, he did the right thing, and passed on two small bucks as well. He's holding out for a bruiser in his record book. I get that, he wants something 140" or bigger. Anyway, I shot the third buck that I got a shot on, it was too far quartering away, but it worked. Tracking this buck took all I had, and the Kid wound up finding it. 120 - 150 yards in thick stuff and the blood trail petered out in 20 yards. Luckily I watched the buck, and wee went after him. Told the Kid to keep hunting, sat in my stand and video taped one buck, saw a ton of doe. Anyway, two hours or so later we went to find my buck. I knew the shot was a chancy one. We lost blood like I said, and after going in small circles where I last seen him and finding ZERO blood, my heart sank. I knew the shot was a gamble, but damn it. Kid says he'll follow 20 yards along side the corn, which is still 8"tall. I said I'll walk the corn edge. Of course he gets way ahead, and says, I got your buck!
I'm thankful to just get out! I'm thankful to God for Everything.
This buck's stomach plugged the entry hole, and I saw him run off with the arrow poking out. Swat A4-Mini, Matrix 380, I knew I was not going to get a pass through shot, but never anticipated his stomach to plug the hole. Good thing is, no gut shot! Stomach did not pop into the cavity!

Re: Got a 7 point this morn
Thanks guys, here is a video of the smaller buck I saw, one of several, and a bunch of doe. This farm is the best place I have ever hunted in my life. Anyway. I know there are bruisers here, I want to see the young guys get them. If I get that overwhelmed, my ticker might skip too many beats!

Beauty buck!!!
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.
Re: Got a 7 point this morn
congrats Dan ,
i doubt bigger horns would make it taste any better i have not seen a deer since late september . the michigan dnr is going helter skelter trying to reduce the herd to very few
