Right where I thought. He was quartered away slightly on a steep angel from a climber. I did aim a bit high on purpose, but a fuzz too back. Exit was right by off side elbow. Not terrible. I don't smell gut, but probably clipped it. Went a hundred other so. Right toward the truck. What a morning! Thanks everyone. Best of luck

Congratulations RR, great buck!
I’m up to 4-5 bucks, a doe and maybe a fawn. My #1 skirted me at 50 yards again out of a different stand. He’s driving me nuts.

Sigh….my bad luck continues. Finally got a shooter in range, wide open at 20 yards. Lined everything up, pulled the trigger on the crossbow, and the cable snaps and bolt blows up. Luckily I didn’t get hurt, and I had my recurve in the truck. I’m all settled back in. Always a chance the buck could come back. He wasn’t startled at all and actually stuck around for a little bit.
