He was angled toward me a little and I thought I made a good shot on him. I hit him right behind the left shoulder. I could see blood as he was running away. He only ran 40 yards and just stood there. I watched from my stand. I couldn't believe he just stopped and stood. After about 15 minutes he layed down but it took another 30 minutes for him to die. There was a tree between us so I couldn't get off another shot. I probably would have never found him if he kept moving. I consider myself lucky. The shot was a clean pass though. It took out his left lung and his liver. All I can say is old bucks are tuff.

I only hope to one day even see a deer like this afield. You have the power to up your broadhead NAP FOC 170 are a good with heavy KE systems like ours.

Very impressive indeed!!

  Could you give a few more details?  I'm just curious as to what you where able to see to know that he had died 30 minutes after laying down?  Was he laying down with his head still erect, and eventually just falling down once he died?  If he ran roughly 40 yds from where you shot him, that's a good piece away from you..... could be 60 - 70 yards if a 20 - 30 yard shot.  Must have been something obvious, assuming it wasn't a 40 yd shot and he ran directly to your stand....

  Not in any way questioning the validity of the details in your post, just curious how it happened!  I've never been seen a deer go down... I've had several that have not run more than 30-40 yards, but just have never within my sight when they've gone down, despite how close they are....

Reminds me of my October 2010 encounter in my pic.
