    Sunday afternoon, I heard some crashing in the woods to my left. I knew it had to be deer, but couldn't see what was going on. About 20 minutes later, a small doe was heading my direction. I can tell she was breathing hard, and would look back once in a while. She passed me at about 25 yards and kept going.
    Soon after, I can see a buck coming right on her trail. As he got closer, I can see his wacky rack, and figured it was just a youngster.

    Well the closer he got, I can see he's a mature beast. I'm gonna kill this freak!
    He ends up walking straight towards my tree, passing at about 3 yards, no shot. I let him pass, and at about 15 yards, I have a great quartering away angle.
    I gave a little grunt, and put a perfect shot on him, destroying both lungs. He bolted for about 40 yards and rolled, got up again and died about 10 yards further.
    He was a horse of a buck. I had serious trouble dragging him just 60 yards through the woods!

    Really not sure Scott. I think I saw him once last year, and he was big then. I know he's at LEAST 4, but most likely 5+??

    You are correct sir, 2 blade Bloodrunner. Been using them for a few years with zero complaints.

    I know dude, didn't want you to start a gay teaser :p J/K, company gave me a new phone. I gotta send you guys my number and update mine with yours as well. Next time!!
