Haven't been hunting until today due to my knees and then injuring my back a couple weeks ago.

Georgia's archery season opened a month ago. Muzzleloader season is underway this week...so I had to wear orange. (Firearms season opens this coming Saturday Oct 18th.)

I had some stand locations picked out and rode the ebike into one with a Summit climber this afternoon. Got climbed up by 1630 hrs. At 1745 a spike loped by with mouth open...he came in one end of opening and went out the other end. My wind was right...so don't know what he was doing. But our rut is underway.

At sundown I heard a stick break and this good 8pt was approaching. I put one arrow thru him at 22 yds. He leaped about 15yds, stopped with blood draining out of him.....took about three more steps and toppled. He was stinky rutty smelling. My shot was at a steep angle and I hit lower than I was anticipating, but his heart was centered.

He is one of the better bucks Ive been getting pics of lately.

Had plenty of light. It was about 10 min after legal sunset...so, had 20 more minutes of legal light.

I have arrowed a couple over the years by centering them in the sight housing and feeling that anchor point was right.
