Hate on me if you must for posting this here. I shot this buck with a scoped crossbow last Thursday at my lease in Granville County, N.C.. I only hunt with a crossbow because the car wreck I was in on 4-21-07 has left me unable to draw any of the bows I own. I can't even draw the recurve bow my Grandfather gave me when I was a kid 40 years ago & it only has a 40 pound pull.
I am so happy to get back in the early Fall deer woods before the gun hunters start. I thought that part of my hunting life was over for good.
This buck was following a doe, which lead him past my stand broadside at 20 yards. It would have been a slam dunk shot with any bow. He piled up in 45 yards. It is my best buck with an arrow.
