A few doe work in and are running around cause a small 6pt buck is pushing them around they would head out of sight then back. It was turning back it to the perfect morning in the woods. As my longbow was swinging around in front of me the small 6pt stopped right in my shooting lane and has the oh crap look on his face. I lean out and look to my right and see a buck that is the biggest deer I have ever seen on this place ( dam he is a tank ). I generally get worked up after the shot but a split second after seeing this guy my leg started doing a little shaken and wasn't no stopping it. He worked his way in and under me then over to my mock scrape and worked it over pretty good...

When he went under me he was no more than 7yds away , I got a good look at him but no chance for a shot because of the limbs. He is sporting a wide and heavy set of antlers with a giant body and his neck is massive. After he finished doing his thing at the scrape he stiffed legged around and let it be known he was the man....

 When he was going under me I noticed he is just a 6 point ( witch I don't care ) I have never seen a 6pt buck this big. Along about the time he finished the scrape I remember I have a camera on my head so I get it turned on or at least hope I did. I get stood up and am waiting on the perfect shot angle , if I was to say I wasn't nervous I would be telling a big lie. This tank of a buck is about 15-17yds away and like I say he is a monster for central Tx. So longbow in hand wood arrow on the shelf and in my eyes the best buck that has ever been on this place in range is almost now or never time...

I'm about to come uncorked when he finally gives me a shot , I keep my shot sequence rolling in my mind as I draw. I remember hoping my little camera was running , locked on where I want my arrow to go I hit full draw and lock on him. I'm holding at full draw for a good bit then let her eat when I think the time is right , the big bright banana fletch arrow takes him right behind the shoulder. He bolts off and then stopped about 40yds away and is just standing , he looks back as to find out what hit him. I got the glasses up and can see the blood pouring out of him....

Ok Sam "Uncle"!  Now out with the rest of it

Standing on my jelly legs watching him with the binos I can't believe what just happened along about this time he got a case of the jelly legs also. He was down and is now the third wide racked buck I have taken this year. I figured I would sit a while and savor the moment....

I get down a little later cause 2 coyotes were about to go start chewing on him. I walk over and am in shock at the size of him , for Central Texas he is a true beast. He is a true 6 point buck and the best guess as of now is he is 6-7 years old a true warrior of the hill country. I don't score any of the deer I shoot but he has lots of mass and is just over 21 inches on the inside spread..

I am a very fortunate guy to have a great family and my friends are the best guys on earth and to hunt as much as I do. Don't get much better....
