I guess I’m going to start the thread this year with a picture, since everyone I’ve talked to has only come up with the excuses.
I‘ve had this buck on camera all summer and finally saw him in person this evening. Needless to say, it didn’t end well for him. I shot him at 30 yards and was pretty sure I heard him crash, but I waited a while to get down and look. This ended up being the best blood trail I’ve ever got using the Carbon Express XT4 broadheads, and he only went about 50 yards. He weighed 260# live weight, his back straps were 33”, and his tenderloins were 14”. I did a rough score and got 159” gross.
