This guy was completely nocturnal and I didnt hold out much hope for getting a chance at him.
He got the name Fat Albert because of he looked like a big fat Alberta whitetail. never seen a whitetail this fat before.

The stand faces east and after about 45 minutes the area started to wake up with coming dawn.
I heard a deer walking from my right, coming left
It was Fat Albert in shooting light. He seemed to read my mind as he stepped into view and held up at 32 yards facing me
I was clipped into the d loop, arrow nocked, sitting down, but very ready.
He stood for a long time before turning to leave. I came to full draw and he heard or sensed my movement and froze.
The 175grn woodsman on an ACC Prohunter 300 didnt seem to slow down as it zipped through both lungs.
He didnt even run. Just trotted 20 or so steps, coughed twice and tipped over.

Got him all in one load quartered.
I'm guessing the load to be pushing 180lbs
It was uncomfortable, but I was late for work.

and yeah... late for work :) by about 5 hours. My boss doesnt hunt but he was totally cool about it. I was a short timer anyway.
now im in Georgia where you can shoot 12 deer a year, which will be nice because they are WAY smaller than this one!
