    I am completely hooked now! I had a lot of pictures of this buck all summer long and I kind of decided I was gonna hunt the area he was in every chance I had as long as I had the right wind. I spotted him making a rub 100 yards away and I was instantly shaking. I watched him mill around for almost 30 minutes, browsing and making another rub. When i had 15 minutes of shooting time left I decided to grunt at him. He snapped his head up and made a bee line for me. I drew at 25 yards, thinking he was about to stop, but he kept coming strait at me to 13.5 yards. I must have been at full draw for over a minutes. He slightly quartered to me and I let the arrow loose. Caught both lungs and the top of his heart. He ran 54 yards and piled up. I couldn't believe what that NAP killzone max did to him. A blind man could have followed that blood trail.
    I could care less if I ever shoot a deer with a gun again, what an adrenaline rush!
