This guy is a special one to me. Hunted him 5 years before I finally caught him in a mistake on the final day of the season. He jumped a fence and tripped and fell and knocked an antler off. It's amazing how humble they look without their full crown. In a way I think he was sticking it to me even in his death. Great adversary, and I miss him. Hunting changed after he went down.

The deer in the water reminds me of a big 11 point that someone in our group shot when I was a kid. It died in the middle of a small river, washed downstream a bit and got caught on a fallen tree branch in the river. The only thing we could see was a couple tines sticking above the water. It was a miracle we found it. It was also the middle of Nov. and COLD. Don't remember who ended up going in the water to get it out, but that probably was just the start of the fun, too.

Not this year, a couple three years ago. My buddy met up with me not long after the shot. Didn't go far, we spotted him down in a gulch. The watched him for another 10 min. thinking he was bedded.... left antler had jammed in a tree limb after he went down and rolled quite a ways. He almost got another arrow for good measure after a classic stalk.... heheheh...
Droopy ears gave him away....

I was in my stand when I first got out to Ohio and some guy was with a flashlight walking up the valley towards me. I thought it was one of the new guys from camp, so I stayed quite so I could scare them. I hit the guy with a flashlight and saw it wasn't one of our guys. I asked him what he was doing there because he was trespassing. He started talking crap, so I told him that if he was still there when I got out of my stand, we were going to have a go. He took off by the time I got down. A little more than a week later I found this. This is how I found it, Sucks

Barry Wensel's 2016 Whitetail
This buck I got yesterday meant a lot to me because he was killed on the 57th anniversary of the day I shot my first whitetail. Plus, since I had the open heart surgery in April I wasn't allowed to practice much until late Sept. I vowed to keep my shots under 15 yds. I passed up a B&C class buck broadside at 27-28 yds. a couple weeks ago because I didn't feel confident on it. Then yesterday this one came in behind me directly downwind. Jumped an old internal fence 5 yds. from me. As soon as his hooves hit the ground he started to run. I haven't shot a running deer in decades but my instincts took over, I swung on him at 10 yds. and sunk a perfect double lunger pass-through right behind the shoulders. Anyway, the position he was in when I walked up was very unique. I got another big one a couple weeks ago but he was just laying normal like most do. Best of luck. BW

Nice pics everyone! Apparently everyone here only shoots big buck (and bulls etc).
Barry, very nice buck, and a great story! When you said that you had a pic, and had never seen one die in that position before; I was guessing you were gonna show us a picture of a big one on the wall and say something like: "when you have as much experience as I have, this is how they end up!". ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving all!

Not a good hit so I let him go for the night. Found him in less than a 100 yards.

My buck this year ran into a tree at 35yds with his rack and got hooked up. He tried to 'push through' but with a few more kicks he expired. This has happened to me on numerous occasions and I always think it's nice so that you can watch them go down.
