I am just getting around to posting this. I shot this buck almost two weeks ago on October 26th on an evening right after a nasty storm laid down. 10 yard shot on video. He piled up 50 or so yards later. My businesses have been moving a million miles and hour and I just finally had time to do a video edit last night on this. To set this hunt up, in August I had shoulder surgery that thankfully was a best case scenario. Still my doctor (also a bow hunter) told me that if I wanted to hunt before gun season it would likely be with a crossbow. While I have nothing against crossbows, I was NOT hunting with anything other than my bow period. 6 weeks after surgery I was shooting 30 arrows a night at 60#. It hurt like **** but that didn't matter. On October 4th, I was in a tree stand with my bow. Fast forward to Saturday evening. The moment I saw this deer I knew I was going to shoot him. This is the type of deer that I have routinely passed up over the past 8 or 9 years without a second thought. But for this year anyway, my definition of a trophy has changed. I simply wanted to take a solid buck with my bow. I'm very proud of this deer actually. I killed him with my bow when my doctor said I wouldn't be bow hunting and did it all on self video. His rack is OK, tall and narrow. He was a tank of a body, weighing in at about 195# field dressed according to my deer scale. It took a buddy and I well over an hour to get him out of 300 yards deep of corn using a 2 wheel cart. We were whipped when we got him to the truck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AixH445BC-4 ![[Linked Image]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a35/decraig2000/Dereks2013Buck_-2_zps3b74178a.jpg)
