Amazing how one good day can change the whole season. Today it is over. I feel very Lucky this is the biggest ever with a bow and he also was a piebald.
Happy Hunting, Stan from PA.

All archery season I have not seen a total of 15 deer, None close enough to shoot. Last nite I goto a place I have seen a 4 pt and 1 doe the same day, Other days there I have seen Nothing. I just sat down and put an arrow into my enforcer, Looked up and I see horns comming right at me. He gets behind some big trees and I do not see him for about 5 minutes. When he comes out he changed direction and was walking away from me. He goes about 15 yards, Stops for about 3-4 minutes 50 yards away. Then he turns left as to go up the mountain, takes about 10 steps and turns and starts heading my way. I was hopeing he would stop but he just kept trotting along as he gets closer I can tell he is not going to stop so I pick a shooting lane and he is past it before I could shoot, 1 shooting lane left and he is gone, as he walks in I aim at the center of his front shoulder and squeeze it off. I hear the thunk and I look at him and I see my arrow sticking out right behind the shoulder dead center for height, Next instant he is on the ground, My heart was goin crazy, I paced it off 33 yards, When I cleaned him somehow the arrow was in his spine.

That great looking piebald was definitely worth waiting for. And I'm sure he made your season. Congratulations on your fine harvest. Dee

Good that you've got him. It is frustrating when you see them and you know they are there and that you just don't get a shot. Way to go.

Nice buck, Congratulations on your successful hunt.
"A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, signed a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

That's a beautiful buck Stant!
Just goes to show you that you've gotta keep the faith.
Are you going to have the hide tanned?
