I don't visit here as often as I'd like to, I stop in from time to time to check the Live from the stand thread and enjoy reading that. My buddy scrub-buster is on here quite a bit so I keep up with him when I can. Anyhow, I had some success this past Saturday. I had gained permission to hunt 76 acres in Dearborn Co. at where I thought would be a prime location for a mature buck(s) but after a month of 3 trail cams running non stop and no sightings while scouting I began to wonder. I took last Thursday and Friday off work to be able to hunt. I saw 28 deer those 2 days combined but nothing mature so Saturday morning when I woke up I decided to try my Switzerland county spot. It's not a big acreage but it's in a good area. I hadn't had any pics of this buck I shot form that spot but I am glad he decided to show himself Saturday morning. He's my biggest compound bow kill to date. He offered me a 20 yard shot, but he was about 35-40' down the hillside. Everything happened so fast I don't remember even focusing on my pin, it just all sort of happened. I only hit one lung, but he ran about 70 yards and laid down..got back up, ran another 30 yards and expired. Good blood trail using a Magnus Stinger, the angle of the shot had me worried until I found the blood trail. Easiest drag out I have ever had. He expired 30 feet from the nearest blacktop road. Now to take my daughter's out this weekend and let them try to get a shot!

Not sure how to add a picture, hopefully my biddy scrub-buster will help me out with that...

Here you go. That's a great buck! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person this week. And he died close to the road - very thoughtful of him!
