Another "SPORTING" story!

I'm not against hunting, in season, legally, humanely and if you eat what you kill... but this story just about made me drive to the guys house, (with a crossbow!)

Another Backyard Buck bites the dust!


My good buddy Marc put the smackdown on a tall-tined local deer last night. Here is his story...
Just before dark he heard this deer walking and finally saw him in one very little opening through a
bunch of vines about 25 yards away. He saw a bunch of horns and didn't
think twice. Squeezed the trigger on his crossbow and heard a really good thump. He
could only hear him run off about 25 yards or so. So he sat in the tree
stand waiting for it to get dark. When he got down and started looking around he found his arrow right away with good blood but could not find a blood trail anywhere. So he walked back to his house and
waited about an hour to get a flashlight. When he walked back up to
the spot and shined the light around and he saw a big deer about 50 yards
down the tree line from his arrow standing up with its head down looking
really weird and not even looking up. The buck staggered into the
woods and so he decided to go back to the house again and give it more time. After another hour gone by, he went to the spot where he saw him go into the woods and found blood. After a little more trailing into the
woods and into the back of the neighbor's property he tracked the
blood right to their pond. He shined the light around and what he originally thought was a rock protruding from the water later ended up being his deer!
It was floating in the middle of the pond! He made a quick recovery and with the help of another Deere got back to his house for some quick pics.
Nice buck Marc and great story! Congrats! Now help your buddy Bill get ones of those others you got on trail camera from earlier this year!!

Pretty funny story with a nice 7 pt. to show. First buck with a bow.
