Thanks fellas. It all started with a trailcam picture. 9 days after he first showed up on the radar, he went off the radar for good. I dialed in on a 20-acre bedding area roughly 500 yds from where the picture was taken, that was getting heavy activity this week. The bedding area was bounded on the south by a roadway, on the east and west by fields, with a prevailing wind out of the west. The topography and surrounding land features effectively limited the bedding area to two entry/exit points available to a cruising buck, one on the northeast corner, and one on the northwest corner. Given the prevailing wind, I opted to place a set on the northeast corner, pinched tight up against the thicket. Ingress/egress was all on the downwind side of any beds, so these deer had no idea they were being hunted. The trap was laid. Everything came together yesterday morning, when the buck I'd been hunting decided to get off his belly and troll the edge. At 8 yards, facing directly toward me, I drove an arrow down through the top of the back, exiting through the paunch. I feared that my shot may have been a few inches too far back, so I backed out and went back to recover today. As it turns out, the shot was true, and his lungs were wrecked. He went 100 yards and that was all she wrote.
