Great hunt on Saturday:

We got out on Saturday morning and before it was even light out the deer were moving. It was pretty light out due to the moon also. I had brought a good friend that got back into archery after not hunting in 20 years! I set him up in a spot that has been good in the past, but no one had hunted it yet this season. It wasn't much after day light broke he texted me and told me that he shot a big one. I couldn't believe it, the buck was chasing a doe and stopped at 30 yards. He drew back and let it go. I told him just wait and give him time because I had deer all around me. There were deer coming from all directions and I was just waiting for the big dog to come in. Then as I looked out on the point here come a dandy buck headed towards my way. He come in and chased two little bucks away and got after a doe and came right to me. I had only a few seconds to decide if I was going to take him. Well, I elected to let him go and off he went after his doe. He will be a great one next year! Now back to the beginning, I went down to meet my friend steve and go find his buck. We walked up to where he thought the buck was standing and we found the arrow, but it was clean as a whistle. He must have shot over his back or the buck dropped. He really thought he hit the buck because release felt great and the buck spun and ran 15 yards and stood for about 5 minutes or so then he heard a bunch of crashing. Sounded like a dead deer to me. The good thing is we all had a great weekend and will be looking forward to getting out again this week. I have Rick Sanger from the Drury's who won dream season with his wife is coming up this week to hunt all week with us so hopefully we will have some good stuff to share. Keep checking back for updates.
