              Well . . . I had myself set up on a funnel with a geographical pinch point. The funnel filtered down into a narrow creek bed that they were using heavily. I was less than 20 yards from the pinch spot and each deer went through this hole. When the last doe got to the pinch point I looked up where they came from to see two bucks clanking their horns together. I waited and they started drifting down towards me. I had intentions of shooting the first buck in the lineup, but when he hit the opening I had he caught my draw. He quickly bounced through the opening and I grunted the second one when he passed through the opening. He stopped I drew back annnnnnnnddddd . . .

              I made a perfect shot . . . less than 20 yards. Perfect double lung. He only ran 20 yards before he collapsed. I was ridiculously pleased:)

              Can’t forget to say thanks,

                    Great job. I can’t connect yet, and I am hunting with a rifle! I have 2 tags this season, wanting to get the first with the rifle, for the meat, and then set up with the bow for number 2.

                    Nice young buck, ought to be real tasty.

                                    Ni-hi-ICE! Can’t wait to take my first, have to wait all the way until Saturday morning for our season is not yet open. But you, sir, have paid your dues, shot and shot and shot and shot until you could have this great experience. Him’s a purdy buck for sure! Congrats. May there be many more!
