First buck with a arrow.

It was opening day evening hunt,an it was hot around high 70`s,I had my stand in hand walking around looking for a tree in the area i wanted to hunt in. I found a little maple tree standing in tall brown weeds they were about to my shoulders high, i did`nt have my climbing sticks with me so i put the stand up as high as i could reach only about 5 1/2 feet high, i pulled myself up in it, sweating to death,i sat there for a few min, thinking this will never work the deer will see me first thing,the weeds were about a 3 acres on the north side of the woods, the woods was about 5 acres M-37 on the east side an a cut corn field on the west side,i had camo bibs an a camo shirt, it was so hot i had to take off my shirt, so here i sat with no shirt on,thinking this was a waist of time, a few lil patches of trees straight in front of me, there was a blue jay raising cain in the little swale ,i was thinking shut up,right then here comes a deer from the swale its a buck! Looking at its horns thinking holy crap its got a big rack,tall rack, walking straight towards me, just great no way to put my shirt back on, he`s going to see me, i hope he turns away,i`m thinking to myself,right then he turns an goes into another little swale, it was only 12ft by 6ft swale about 60 yards up,thinking he laid down,WRONG!!!!! he came back out after just a min, coming right towards me,i deside i`m not going to even pick up my bow i will miss anyways, i`ve been missing does like crazy, an if i shoot an miss that would just piss me off, he was about 30 yards right in front of me an i`m counting the points,11 points i just know he`s going to see me,He`s still coming i just cant belive a buck that big is walking right to me, he`s about 12 yards out an walking to my right side, Right then it hit me GRAB YOUR BOW!!!! I slowly reached around an grabbed my bow with my left hand an unhooked it off the branch i broke off,He is right beside me like maybe 5 yards i had to stand up an face the tree to get a shot off he never seen me move, i was sweating an shaking so bad my heart was about to come out of my chest,i go to raise the bow an it hits two branches on on the top limb an one on the bottom limb i had to turn the bow sideways an stick it thru the branches.,I`m looking at him in the sites an he stops i`m thinking he`s going to bust out of here,i`m saying to myself take one more step an you`ll be in a spot with no weeds, right then he took that step an stopped,wide open, i remembered something Ted Nugent said , Think about where your arrow will come out not just where to your arrow is going to hit at,I thought about that an pulled the trigger,I can still see it as it was today, the arrow went like slow motion i watched it drive right behind the shoulder blade the deer hit the ground spun around an ran off, i thought i missed!!!!!!!! I was just seeing things, i thru my bow out of the tree an got down an went to find my arrow an all i seen was blood i grabbed my bow an ran for the truck to go get my buddy,we came back an followed the blood trail he dropped 50 yards an the arrow did just what i wanted both lungs an a slice over the heart.
