I shot this NC buck during archery season last year, in my yard (3 acres of woods), in the city limits, in view of 9 houses, and no one had ever seen him! Weighed 225lbs, which is a hoss for NC! . A complete surprise! He may have noticed the abundance of acorns on the ground and tried to partake!!
Just happened to be standing under my stand at first light!
My wife shot this buck about 300 yards from the Canadian border after it came down to check on a group of does. It had 3 extras on each side and grossed 198
After having some gun issues and giving this guy a few warning shots the day before... I found him the next day and closed the deal with the Bowtech. Two main beams and lots of junk on the passenger side makes a unique euro mount.
Come on Kurt/Greenhorn post that monster Freak-A-Lope of yours with the melting horns. That is my favorite of all the big critters you have killed with your bow.
