[QUOTE="brian89, post: 1247801, member: 10177"] Prolly the best buck i have ever shot at with my bow, I didn't miss.. I shot him and could never find him.. I hit him good also... here's the story I set a bean field that I had trail cam pics of a good buck hitting it pretty regularly.. I set on the field late September and seen him and 2 other bucks, so I knew where I wanted to set up.. I set up in a cedar on the edge of the field near where he came out before.. I got there and settled in and had does in the field about 45 minutes after I got there. I was watching some other does coming to the field, and turned around to look on the other end of the field, and him and one of the other bucks were out there feeding.. this was about 7:10pm.. With light fading and him about 300 yards away i decided to grunt at him loudly cause it was pretty windy.. I grunted and he threw his head up and started running directly at me!.. He went down to a pond and got a sip of water and came back up to the field, and started feeding again, so I hit the grunt call again.. Here he came, this time he didnt stop.. I had a bush ranged at 25 yards in the direction that he was coming from.. He came down the line of cedars that I was in and was about 40 yards and out of sight so i drew.. he came directly in front of the bush and turned broadside and looked back for the other buck.. I settled the pin in and let it fly.. I had an orange lumenok on that arrow with a 100 grain muzzy so I could see it really well.. It hit him right behind the shoulder and mid way up his body, it was excatly where I was aiming.. His opposite side leg was back and when the arrow when through it pinned it on the shoulder bone.. he took off and lost the back 2/3's of the arrow..My arrows are 30" long , so the bucks got 18" of arrow plus a broadhead still in him, He jumped a fence and took off into an open pasture.. We found specks of blood around where I shot him, and by chance found a pretty good spot of blood about 150 yards from where I shot him, by another fence.
