    Sunday afternoon at last light I finally put down my first not only archery buck, but my first buck I've ever gotten. This wicked 9 point came in right at last light with an 8 point and turned broadside at 20 yards. Almost 2 days later and I still feel the adrenaline pumping. He may not be a monster to some people but to me I couldn't be happier. I'm in love with his wicked rack. Super proud of this guy!

    "Wicked" is a good way to describe it! I was thinking "gnarly"

    enjoy that feeling...reading your post brought back the memory (and feeling) of my first buck
