Thanks guys, it's a great feeling to finally get a deer worth bragging about. It was technically a public land buck, but I stalked him from private land. The farm/ranch I work has over 5000 acres. My boss usually allows a few people for rifle and muzzleloader but I am the first to hunt with a bow on his land, well legally anyways. He would let more people but I have to run down and chase at least 2 people a day off his land. Most shoot animals and cut off the rack or get spooked and drive off leaving wounded deer, elk, etc. I am constantly surprised at people and their complete lack of respect for people's property but more importantly the animals and their right to a clean humane death.Sorry to rant but I just had to burry 2 deer by tractor after finding the rotting antler less carcasses bringing in the coyotes and spooking the cattle. Someone shot them and took a hack saw to the racks and left them to rot.
