He is the nicest one for me to date. I was set up in some Hard woods just off a field and I saw a doe come running , being chased by him, I gave a him pass as he was running by I looked and saw this hugh 14 point comming through the field. Knowing he was on the same trail, I held off the 9 point and I had by brothers crossbow sence mine was having problems. He said it was on so I pulled a rookie mistake and went out with out practiceing with it. I know there was a big buck in the area and wanted to be there for him when he came through. I was ! I waited for a 10 yard shot on him and missed, he jump a few yards and looked to see where the noise came from and I was able to reload and he cought sight of me and I quickly fired this time he was to quick for me and another miss. I went back out every day for a week and then this 8 point with a kicker came back through and there was a hot doe under me eating acorns. I was set up 30 yards from Turkeyfoot Rd. He came accross the road and was under me befor he knew it. He knew I was there and looked up at me and then the doe and then me and then the doe again, this was amazing to me , he wanted her so bad he litterly gave me time to get the shot when I was as surprized as he was. I was also using a Machanical field point with when it hit him defleted upwards off and rib and into the spine, I had never seen that before and hopefully never will again, hence the switch to Slick Tricks.

Nice looking but and good story. I have sorta been there done that with a rifle before. I was told it was zeroed, but after missing two deer I checked it and it was about 3 inches low at 50 yards and 5 inches to the right. Now I never shot anyone's rifle without first firing it myself at a target.
Again, nice looking buck!
