Finally after a slow season of seeing only small spikes and does my luck has changed.Around 7:30 I heard some deer blowing across the pasture,as I thought they busted my brother. Waiting without high hopes I sat quietly for another 1/2 hr and decided to stand up a bit. FAcing the pasture for 5 minutes I turned slowly and faces the woods,to my surprise this big buck was standing in range. My heart started racing and I could not get the release on the loop as the deer started walking. I knew I screwed again but noticed a small hole where I could slip an arrow theu. I regained my composure,drew back and waitedwhat seemed like forever.

The buck stepped right in the hole,I took aim and launched the arrow. I seen the knock light and heard a familiar thud. No sound of an arrow traveling thru brush,bones,or anything just a thud and the deer took off. I immediatly texte my brother and said I think I just killed my biggest Fl buck.I couldn't wait to get down and look but I knew I had to wait. After 15 minutes I decided to look for the arrow anyways and what I found where he was standing was a large amount of blood. Waited another 45 minutes and started trailing,I knew I made a good hit but could not find the arrow. It was a quick trail job with a dead buck lying 60 yards from where I shot him. The arrow cut the top of the heart and both lungs and never fully passed thru. The arrow backed out about 20 yards before he fell.
