    Congrats again on your buck! And congrats to Addy on finally getting her buck! That's a lot better than my first buck, and with a crossbow to boot.

    We talk a lot here about long shots. This is a perfect example of why it pays to practice long shots. I wouldn't take a shot initially on that deer that far. But in a pinch, like today, all that practice paid off. :) have the deer the end he deserved and filled my tag.

    BOOM I said that deer was a touch over 150 ALL DAY! Congrats again, wish I'd been there to see Addy's face, she was no doubt pumped when she found out her's was found!

    I'll be honest I knew he would be close but I wasn't sure he would be much over. He was a lil better than I thought and as you know Ty with FC getting killed he was the best deer I had this year. Still not seeing much on the creek...... oh the young giant 8 with the big brows....... got shot :(
