Managed to put this guy on the ground on Sunday night. Rut action was on and off. Great one day and dead the next. We got into the middle of a serious rut fest with bulls fighting, bugling, cows mewing, chasing, etc. This guy couldn't resist some estrous calling and came in on a string. He stopped in front of the only tree I had time to range and took an arrow at 30 yards. Never had a faster archery kill. He went no more than 40 yards and was dead in less than 3 seconds. The arrow passed through, sailed several more yards and lodged 1/2 an arrow length in the dirt. It would still shave hair after all that too. VPA Terminator broadhead.
Too bad I'll probably never be able to draw this tag again.
