Here is my Vernon archery buck...We watched this buck for a few days, he wasn't the biggest buck on the mountian but he did get in a spot that gave me the opportunity to sneek up on him. We watched him go into "the slit" and he never came out so we figured he had layed down. I made a loop and got the wind and some elevation on where we thought he was. I eased my way down the the draw stopping and glassing every few yards until I spotted him and four does bedded in the bottom under a canopy of choke cherry trees. They were about 100 yards below me...30 minutes later they were 50 yards...but if I could get the next bush they would be 40 yards...got to 40 and still had some oak brush to hide behind so I continued down the draw...got to 30 and all I could see were antler tips over sage brush...there was one tall clump of sage brush left for cover...I got to the big clump of sage...23 yards...Wow! I thought this is almost to close...all five deer were literally asleep...I was above him, he was curled up and laying at kind of a funky angle, figured I was either going to hit him in the neck or lungs...I don't even have a 20 yard pin so I put my 30 right where his neck went into his body...touched the trigger and WHACK! sounded like a .22 went off...I hit him right in the neck, shattered his spine and cut the gugular...he never even moved. I made one of the best stalk of my life and killied my biggest archery buck to date with my good friends watching! It was awesome! I love spot and stalk archery hunting! Thanks to everyone on MM that offered advice!
