A flicker of movement caught my eye, there was no mistaking the
"flick" of a deer's tail in the fallen treetop across the small valley.   I strained to make out the details, then a glint of antler
shone.  I smiled slow and wide.

I sized up the situation and it looked to me that the buck would most likely move down toward the pond, on the way to an oak a few hundred yards through the woods that was dropping acorns.  As I was easing into position I saw a sapling getting thrashed about 30 yards, he was on the move at the same time I was!  I kneeled down and laid my quiver on the ground ready to rock...but he headed back down the ditch.  I could make out a deer's body at about 30 yards and when it cleared the underbrush a 1.5yr old 6 pt stood there as pretty as you please.  I sure thought that antler glint was bigger than what I was now looking at. 

Not 10 seconds later a second form made its way up out of the ditch and before I even had time to think I was at full draw.  When he cleared the brush I could tell he was a mature buck, so I picked a spot and released.  At the shot he lunged forward and down and the arrow hit him back a ways, not good.  The trailing job was prob 1/2 mile and I lost his trail multiple times, but with God's help and persistence was able to bring him home before it was all over.

Good luck if you are out and about.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.
