Great story and buck, Mike. Congrats!

[Bvas]

Great buck and great tell of the tale.

The deer we work the hardest for are the ones we appreciate and remember the most. I'm sure you'll remember this forever. Congrats.

Awesome story Dave, we all have had failures, just some don't get up after falling down.

Time to rise and ride again!

[Orion]

Helluva story.  Have had similar experiences.  Thanks for taking us along.

[Chisler]

Really great story.  Thanks so much for sharing the story, the photos and the heartfelt description of the emotions and thoughts we are all faced with.  I have the good fortune to be able to hunt a large piece of property in Ohio and I have never had a positive response with rattling or grunting that caused a mature buck to come to me.  When I finally have a big buck bristle up and do that stiff legged walk towards my tree I probably won't be able to draw my bow, let alone ask myself "where is the spot Alan?".   Thanks again for a great story.

[Kevin Dill]

Well Mike....a good bit of your season might be explained by the MB Vortex which seems to go wherever he goes....   Furthermore, you already know any adventure which includes Monty is going to have its share of....hmm...rocks and sweepers, right?

That's a beauty of a whitetail. Congrats to you for the fine kill, and for talking yourself down off the ledge....a ledge I've been on a few times myself. Happy Holidays!  KD

[bow loving man]

Thanks for your honest sharing of a story most of us can relate to! Congrats on a fine harvest!

[wapiti792]

Thank you all guys! KD those sweepers...gave me a chuckle.

I am shooting better and know it is a lack of concentration at "the moment". Holding that focus is such an important part of the shot and I lost it for awhile.

Thanks again for the kind comments!

[ronp]
