My BIL and I drove this morning and were set in our stands by 6am. At about 6:45 I hear steps behind me and I see a silhouette coming out of the woods to my right. It was too dark to tell what buck it was but I could tell it was a big body. He came to the feeder and started to eat the corn and I had to wait about 30mins before I could finally see his antlers well. I thought of passing him up knowing there is bigger deer around but I had only had one other buck in bow range before and I missed that buck. He walked away but walked back and I didn't have second thoughts then. I let one fly and he piled up at sight about 30 yds away. He is not a giant only a 16in spread 7pt but I'm proud to have taken my first buck with a bow. I've waited 5yrs for this shot, ever since Firecuss first talked me into buying a bow.
