First bow kill

[BradC]

Well, crossbow/bow kill. I have had permission to hunt a small section of brush in a pasture that is right next to corp land on Lake Lavon. I have been hunting this property for 3 seasons and today was the first time I have had an opportunity at an animal under my feeder. This buck showed up at 9:56 this morning right before I was about to pack it up. This is the first time I have seen a deer this season on stand, and this buck has only big on camera during the night. He is not a Collin County monster, but he is a mature deer and I am proud to have taken him. Unfortunately he has been fighting and broke off some tines.


How old do y'all think he is?

Thanks guys. The shot was a little low, but caught the bottom of the heart. There was a solid line of blood starting from under the feeder to 50 yards away where he expired a yard short of crossing onto corp land.

Waydago, that's a great old buck and congrats on having the gumption to stick it it out and be patient

Sticking it out has been frustrating. Seeing hogs and deer on the camera but not getting an opportunity at a shot while in the blind has not been encouraging. It is a blessing to be able to hunt this property, but it has not been very fruitful. There is a nice bass pond that I get to duck hunt as well, so that helps too.
