Nice buck...way too long of a shot for me (and most people)...glad it was effective for you! :bdid:

Or just stick with it's to long for you so it doesn't seem like your a hater  :dunno:

What would you say to a brand new archery guy who shoots at 60yrds, hits way back but still harvested animal??

Great shot! I'm sure you practiced at that range and put it were it needed to go  ;) Internet police go away...
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Great looking buck. Heck of a shot. I was always afraid of even having a pin light on the bow even without batteries in it. Figured I'd get the wrong guy/gal and get ticketed.

Whats the plan? Velvet on mount? Again, great deer and even better shot! Thanks for showing him off.

MX Racer, that is some terrific hunting.  A lot of people don't appreciate how steep those dry canyons can be, and also can't even begin to fathom how hard it is to sneak a shot on an alert deer.  I, for one, could never make such a shot, and my hat goes off to you.

Tell us, if you would, what was the angle on the shot?  (I assume you were hiding for quite a why by some brush, and were shooting downhill, but that is just a guess.)  Walk us through your hideout and the shot, please.

Thanks guys, I got to my spot about 4pm and about 6pm I passed 3 legal bucks largest being about a 20" wide 3x4 with eye gaurds that walked right in front of me. I was actually setup about 20 yards up from the bottom of the eyebrow next to an old fence line and 4 bucks walked out from above me and crossed the fence line I was sitting next to so I ranged the buck I decided to take several times and took the shot. So the shot was at a pretty steep uphill, 80yard pin uphill = double lung dead deer. (Yes I shoot and practice long shots alot)

Congrats very nice buck. Private or public land?
