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.

Awesome!!! That's a real nice deer!!!!

.. good deal uncl Swamp

… it better not have been after shooting hour lol

.. some of my best bow kill bucks got centered up in sight gaurd as it was too late to see the pins lol

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.

… yessir… killed plenty when most would be walking back to the truck

Yessir....I always sit until legal light is all used up.

Happiness is a bloody arrow!

… you got him iced down?

… I asked you a question… and I expect an answer… if you cooperate with me that’ll go along way with how this plays out

Right on Swamp!

I carried that one to the deer cooler. Friend owns it. Will go back there tommorrow and de-bone.

…. I liked it better when y’all were feuding lol

… I was friends with two brothers that had a cooler in town … they went out of business and took back welding… it was nice while it lasted

Im about too old and kinked up to skin and de-bone..then get to bed well after midnight....lol

Very nice!

Heck yeah! Great job.

Great buck Mr. Swamp. Congrats
