Alright you a-holes.
One arrow sent, one buck recovered. I know, I know...

I hear a deer coming in from behind me, turn around and see a real nice 8pt, prob 120ish coming in to the water tank, I start to draw and the SOB picks me off- we have a several minute Mexican stand off with me at half draw. Finally he puts his head down and starts walking back to my right, which means I now have to dip around my tree and redraw. I dip around my tree no problem and he's quartering away perfect at 25 and I start to draw and he whips his head around and pegs me again. So now I'm basically at 3/4 draw and he's staring dead at me. Then he turns his head forward and starts trotting and I come to full draw but now he's behind some trash and I can't take the shot. He gets to about 40 and stops again and then lowers his head and grunts and I see that there's a doe ahead of him. He chases her behind some pines and they f*** around for a little bit and then the doe pops out headed straight towards me and there's a buck behind her so as soon as he gets clear of the little pines at 25 I let the arrow fly and see it hit him right behind the shoulder, he bounds away into the brush and the doe just stands there and then all of a sudden that first buck that I saw pops out of the pines and chases her around for a little while. Now I'm thinking 'what the F did I just shoot?'
It gets to dark and then I get down out of the tree go find my arrow pick up the blood, and he's dead within 50 yards.

Damned if I didn't shoot a fricking forkie.

Congrats, you have moved up in the quality of tools. No longer will you be known for the pincushion buck, henceforth you shalt bear the title of The Drunken Fork.

Wish I had been drunk. Better excuse.
Never been more pissed for killing a deer in my life. I pass 100-125 up here every season. Only reason I was going to shoot the first guy I saw is it's the 2nd to last evening I'm going to hunt in WI and he was a perfect high 8pt just beyond the ears meeting qdma criteria.

That said, after the season I've had, making a perfect shot and getting a quick clean kill does take the edge off.

Any of you guys ever gutted a deer and got little bean looking things in a tube/vein lined along the inside spine? Little white grainy bumps in them?
