Finally got my first trad deer

[Nantahala Nut]

After 4 years I sealed the deal on October 28th. A spike walked up the draw at 8 30 am. It was foggy I didn't see him until he was on top of me. I always get the buck fever, even on does. This time was different. No adrenaline or anxiety. There wasn't a thought in my mind. It was a very instinctive thing. His head went behind a tree at 13 yards and I drew. He stepped out broadside and I let it fly. Arrow went straight through and buried. Never found it.
I got real nervous when I saw no blood and no arrow. I followed his track back down the draw. He went 60 yards and dropped dead. No blood until he went down. 
I expected to have the shakes so bad. I expected adrenalin and struggling to focus. Totally different experience. It felt very primal and instinctive. Killed him on public land in the Smokeys area.

Congrats sir!!
All deer are trophies, especially on public !!

Congratulations. I shot 2 blades for awhile and ran into the no blood scenario, so I got ahold of Woodsman 3 blades and things got bloodier.

[Wudstix]

Congratulations, big two blade or three blade makes 'em leak more.
