My 2008 Meat Buck

[Kdub]

Last night friend and co-worker Dan'l and I had a couple of hours to burn, so we headed for the peaks for a quick hunt. After an intense hike (1600 vertical feet in 45min) to the top we were able to spot this guy out feeding. After watching him and a couple of other smaller bucks at 200 yards for nearly an hour I saw a window of opportunity. The wind was blowing really hard, which made my stalk a snap, but it would make shooting really tough.

After getting positioned I drew back on him once, only to let down due to the wind. The wind clamed down enough for a shot and my nerves almost betrayed me. I visualized what I wanted to happen, drew back on him again and then everything came together for a quick ethical shot. The buck only went a few yards before he expired. In comparison to the countless other hunts I've foiled, everything just seemed to work perfect. What a hunt! I'm really not sure how big he is; I haven't had time to check. All I know is that he's a 7x6. We didn't get home until 1:30 A.M.

I was using a Hoyt Katera loaded with Fuse accessories, Easton FMJ arrows and Fuse Kumasi broadheads. 470-grain arrow doing 293fps with a 1.5 cutting diameter? totally wrecked his shop. Best hunting set-up ever!

Put your dot on the spot and pull the trigger.

I ignorantly forgot to mention... Thank You Drew W!!! You inspired me to take the climb because you thought I couldn't do it in 15 minutes like I unrealistically thought I could. I tried and failed but smoked a buck in the process. I owe you.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on the bucks guys. I admire anyone running up in 15 minutes 1600 feet. That should be a way to get the ole heart pumping!

Kevin congrats on the great buck. I have a question about the vanes you have been shooting. I was wondering what brand and size they were and also if you are having luck with the six fletch
