Well just joined this site today might as well make this my first post, 2011 buck with my compound bow. 11-12-2011 9 pt had some time to find my story from OS.. thirty deer sightings all in rut mode. i watched a 4 pt run in circles around a big maple tree probably ten times chasing a doe it was really something to see. so anyways around 715 i have about 8 doe come running under my stand. I see a young buck chasing a doe as well as a bigger buck. they meander off out of sight into a really big area of woods and i was somewhat bummed about not having a shot on that buck. so for the next hour i pass up some smaller 6 and 4 pts waiting out for a more mature deer. around 850 i cannot believe my eyes when i saw the same nice buck from earlier dogging a doe headed straight for me . i rangefind a tree the doe is headed for and its forty yards away. a little bit out of my comfort zone with my compound bow. so in order to shoot to my right side and with me being right handed i had to stand up and face the tree, a first for me because i have always been able to shoot deer sitting down. as i turn around, my knee hits my seat on my lone wolf hand climber and it crashes down to the platform. doe looks up at me but thankfully the buck kept pressing her on and she keeps trottin. to my surprise the buck takes a closer trail and at twenty yards i get him to stop and i let an arrow fly. he was looking at me slightly quartered towards me and i hit him in the kneck and got a double lung. i watched him fall 60 yds away and couldnt believe id finally done it. The i have been bowhunting 3 years since i was 13 and have killed 5 doe and wounded one nice buck and passed up countless younger bucks knowing that they may one day become the next trophy. to say the least i'm extremely pleased and happy to see things finally come together....
