Nice. What did you think about that hunt? Did you see a lot of bucks? A lot of good bucks? How did you hunt it? Pack in or day hunt? Lets hear a little story on the hunt and shot.
 
Well, the sheep herder was recently in this area so you know what sheep do to deer, Run them out of there... anyway we saw 10 bucks. This buck was with 5 others. I seen them sneeking away it the trees so I took off on a run to get ahead of them and it worked. I shot him 47.5 yards almost straight up. Before the shot I realized I got in too much of a hurry and forgot my trigger so I finger shot for the first time. He was broad side when I shot, he jumped and did a 180 and my arrow stuck him in through the back leg up through the lungs and heart in to the front leg. It stayed in his body. I tracked him for 2 hours and there he was 9800 ft in the air and a long hike to get him out!!!!
 
Congratulations - sounds like you had to work for him. I can't believe you shot him with fingers after shooting with a release - unless you have shot a lot with fingers before - WOW! I tried it once a couple years ago just at a target - and let's just say I haven't done it since.

sounds like an aventure just tracking him.

good job, and nice deer.

how was it to go from a release to fingers with no practice?

just curious.
