the story from deerfire (ohio site)

OK, here's the story. I planned on going to my stand near my house this morning to hunt this particular buck or another frequenting the area. Well, at a little after 8 am, I'm laying in bed and Redhunter text messages me saying that if I wasn't laying in bed dreaming of being as good as him That I coulda shot a decent buck or 2 does that were making their way towards my stand. He drove by on his way to work. I drug myself out of bed to run a few errands and while I was driving I seen several deer out and about chasing. When I was finished I made my way around the area of my stand and happened to see this buck bedded out in a cut corn field with a doe. I went home and got camo'd up and decided to try a stalk. I tried stalking along a treeline but when I got to where I thought I could see him he wasn't there. I went back tpo my truck and drove down the road and seen him about 300 yards from my stand heading theopposite way with the doe and a couple other smaller bucks following. Another friend happened to drive by and I showed him the buck. We formulated a plan for me to set up in a small woodlot towards where the deer were headed while he would slowly walk in the open field towards the deer. The plan worked perfect. I was waiting in the woods watching and the doe happened to walk inside and right by me at 15 yards. Not 20 seconds later here he came following her every move. I was think of mouth grunting him but decided to take the walking shot. At 20 yards I took the shot and watched the arrow sink through right behind his shoulder. I knew I hit him well cause he ran 20 yards and then he began to wobble severely and I lost sight of him. Meanwhile my buddy was watching him expire and I was so nervous that I didn't want to push him so I was yelling at him to come to me and he was yelling "He's Dead". Finally we went to him and I was totally speachless. I still am really. But I think I called everybody in my phonebook and have probably recieved close to 100 calls today from people I know. I'm totally proud of this deer whether I killed him with a crossbow, compound, gun, spear, pocketknife or whatever. Now I'm gonna get another compound no matter what the Dr. says and try to take only mature bucks from here on out. Thanks for all the congrats guys.
