He had trouble exiting, landing on the panel and tearing up the broadhead on it as he tumbled over. He turned back to his left and disappeared from sight.
As the other deer slowly filtered back in I played the shot over in my head. Drawing and and anchoring were focused and but when he moved the adjustment was almost without thought.
I saw both sides with arrow sticking out and as he ran off it apparent that the hit was lethal and he wouldn't go far.
But it took a while for the rest of the deer to finish the corn an wander off allowing me to exit the stand and take up the blood trail.
Broken ends of arrow were found along the trail but it was a short trail. 60 or 70 yards in he was piled up. The double lung shot from the Grizzlystik head put him down quickly.
He's not a monster but he weighed 180lbs live weight and had some serious backstraps on him.
Only my second traditional buck so I'm pleased.[ATTACH]1065607[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1065608[/ATTACH]
