[QUOTE="r00s7a, post: 1635900, member: 9675"] This buck was a nightmare for me. I flat out made a bad shot, probably cause I was shaking like a dog poopin razor blades. There were 6 bucks and 10+ does and fawns that had me completely surrounded. Some were at the feeder, bucks trying to run off does from feeder, and bucks fighting each other. It was utter chaos with that many deer in one place, but it did divert attention from my stupid rubber boots squeaking on the metal stand, but there were so many sets of eyes there to catch my not-so-smooth moves. Finally the buck I wanted gave me a 25 yard, broad side shot. I flung an arrow down in his direction. It reminded me of playing "red light, green light" as a kid, the noise of the bow made everyone freeze for about ten seconds in unison, then they went back to what they were doing. His reaction was not good. Upon impact, he took about three quick steps and froze. I saw my arrow on the ground, didn't see blood on it. How he was standing, I couldn't see entrance or exit wound. He walked around and stood 30 yards out, directly behind me. I did manage to nock another arrow, but there was no way I could turn my body around for another shot. I watched him out of the corner of my eye for almost 30 minutes and he was completely frozen, not alert looking, not eating like everyone else, just looking sickly, so something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what or where.
