Peakfreak, the story is this buck ran me ragged for 18 days on the archery hunt, 12 yard blown stalks! and countless no shows at the water holes he was using. Knowing the bucks morning pattern, I was in position long before light. I could hear deer milling around and an occational clashing of antlers. I waited for light, the bucks were about 300 yards directly below me. I took off my backpack left the 20x60x80 swarovski spotting scope, and stalked within 154 yards of the bucks. Still unaware of me I waited for the buck to feed out of the dead cedars. Finally he was clear of the trees I reddied my knight 50 cal and deliverwd a 270 grain platinum powerbelt on the right shoulder. He kicked and then dissapeared in the oak, he went 10 yards. It took 19 days to take this buck but I couldn't be happier.
