Almost a mile walk back on public ground and it may not be far enough back especially for that dnr service truck that just drove by!

I just shot the biggest deer of my life. 20 yards broadside. A little foggy but man did this crossbow knock him off his feet. Fell down on impact and then crashed into the woods. Sounded like a great hit. Great news is he stayed on our land. Gonna calm down and try to breath for a bit, this one is a big one. I'm close by, let me know if you need an extra set of eyes looking with the rain we've had.

Well here he is. Really close to being my biggest, will have to wait until the drying period is over for a definite measurement. I waited for about 20 minutes and got out of the blind to go look for blood. At this time it started pouring. I am hunting a 40 yard clearing between hardwoods and a soybean field. I couldn't find any blood in the clearing, so I waited an hour. I then went to the path he took into the woods and there he laid, 10 yards into the woods. He only made it 30 yards from the impact. I did have to shoot a little forward to clear some limbs, but with the fixed blade head I wasn't too concerned.The best thing about this is I took this deer with a 20 year old crossbow given to me by my grandpa. Don't have to have the new high dollar stuff to kill big deer.
