Those are some fine specimens! Please, tell us the story behind them.
Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

Here's my story... We spotted 6 bucks at 77.5 yards and they knew we were there instantly... My buddy can only shoot out to 60 yards and i told im i would give him first shot at a buck. Instead he whispered to me and said you take him.. So i shot the buck at 77.5 yards broadside and blew right through him and hit him in the heart and he went 20 yards after the shot and dropped dead... Not a very long story lol...

Now with my buddies buck i spotted him at 90 yards and we put on a stalk to get within 40 yards.. All you could see was the rack in the trees. My buddy was on my right hip the whole time and i ranged a log where the buck was going to step out at because i couldnt shoot through the branches and it a came to be 30 yards to the log.. so i told him the buck will be 35 yards... Then it was the waiting game and we waiting what seemed like 2 minutes and then i noticed the bucks left shoulder started to move so i told him to draw back and when he did i grabbed his shirt and pulled him my towards me because i didnt know how many steps the buck was gonna take.. The buck ended up taking two steps and my buddy took to side shuffles when i pulled his shirt so it was perfect... He shot him at 35 yards and he was quartering to us just a hair with his left shoulder back, so he put the arrow right infront of the shoulder and it ended up going through and hitting the other shoulder... The buck only went 40 yards and dropped dead...
