[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 3658656, member: 1546"] "Lopsided" stepped into an opening at 30 yards this morning at 7:47. I made some noise when rushing to get ready and he stopped. His body was behind the tree, but his head was fully visible and he was trying to stare me down. After what seemed like forever being frozen he turned his head back down the trail and quickly took 3 more steps. My movement to get in shooting position caught his attention and he paused again, slightly quartered to me 30 yards away. I knew I had to be behind the shoulder, but tucked in close to try and get both lungs. My tracking experience has proven a shoulder hit with archery is not good. I use a Slick Trick Magnum 4 blade fixed and its laser point accuracy hit its mark with a beautiful thump sound. Within a few feet the buck was out of sight, but not out of hearing distance. Within seconds of the shot, I could hear the beast gasp for his last breath and collapse on the forest floor. I forced myself to stay in the tree for 30 minutes as giving the animal time is crucial with archery equipment and I needed some time to wind down. I wouldn't hesitate to give an archery deer longer, but I knew where I hit and what I heard in the moments after. I could also see the buck through the trees once I put feet on the ground.[ATTACH type="full"]229622[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
