    Well, Sunday evening wasn't too bad of a day. With the time change, which I don't like, I had to hit the woods a little earlier than usual. Around 5:15 pm I spotted a buck approximately 75 yds away. Long story short, after some aggressive grunting and a little rattling he gave me a 15 yd shot and I took it. He went about 50 yds and crashed. He is no monster and not the buck I was really hoping for this year but it is my first buck with a bow and he had my heart racing a 100 mph so I guess it doesn't matter how big he is.

    Nothing but high fives around my camp for any deer a hunter is proud of. Make no mistake, that deer will remain every bit as special to you as any future P&Y or B&C.
