Yep, just uploaded the pictures will post tomorrow, just got in from tracking about to fall asleep, long day! It's not looking good on the buck, not looking like its going to die, shot was high and forward. Giant 7 point, like 130" range.

Here's the doe, was a fun hunt. Bumped some deer of coming in of course. Had a young buck come in and hung out for a little while, he was into about 10 yards at one point so was pretty cool. He kept looking back, so I waiting until he turned buck once to grab my bow and be ready. Few does started working my way, but like going around the buck, so I was a little worried about not getting shot. Had one little window and let it rip.

Thanks guy, I told em I know its only a doe, but I need a picture! I'm a picture person, and what I love about hunting is the memories and how jacked up I get over does still. I'm hoping to be good for another doe in Athens before November, if I can get some weekends off work, might be getting a new job so see how busy that will be. I'm trying to stay positive, cause its a good spot and can never know what will happen during the rut. My other buddy shot a horse with antler yesterday, pretty good start to our season in my little group. Did use a new head for this deer, tried the afflictors and was pretty impressed, had great blood trail.

Deer only had a few front teeth lol. Pictures really dont do it justice in how much he weighed.
