I love it! Nice deer, almost sad to be tagged out on the first day but you can't pass a deer like that with an archery tag. Nice job and congrats !

Hes in the cooler and its just after 10 am... Here is the backstory- I started scouting/baiting in April.... this guy was the biggest buck coming in by far.. so as soon as I confirmed that, I knew he was the one I was after... Id not shoot any other buck. As the season was getting near he was coming in regularly between 7-9 am and occasionally in the evening. I wanted this guy so bad, he is even the background on my cell phone. My buddy Paul lives on the west side and said he would fly over to hunt today with me.... I checked the cams last night and he had came in each of the last 4 mornings around 7-8.... I was pretty confident this morning. We got into the blind at 445 and began the waiting game. Just after dark we had some does come in, they feed for 20 min or so and left, then a spike and 2 more doe showed up.. they also feed for a few and kept on. Just after 7 am Paul nudged me and said "deer" he saw the leg of a deer coming down from the left ( the direction the buck had been coming) I am pretty happy he was with me as his view was different then mine and I could not see the deer when he did. This deer was acting much different then the others and I was 99% sure it was him... he took over 3 min to take a few steps and was very cautious on his approach down the hill to the bait. It was a very tense few min as we had a standoff before we got a good view of him. Finally he stepped out at 30 yards and gave me the broadside shot I wanted. The rest is history.... arrow hit him perfectly.... cut the top of the heart and both lungs.... he made it maybe 20 feet before crashing down the hill.... it was all over in less then 10 sec. Paul said hes down buddy!! and the adrenaline started to pump!! what a great way to start my season.... killing the buck I was after opening morning and sharing it with a close friend!!!! Now its Pauls turn tonight!! good luck to all of you.
