So last week I got a nice 7pt and I wasn't going to use my 2nd buck tag on anything smaller. Anyway after a slow morning hunt I went to a spot that I have , it's 3/4 mile hike in up hill. I got settled in by 4pm at 430 I had a spike come out and feed on acorns for a 1/2 hr, before moving off...then about 6:20 I see deer coming to the same spot ...it's big being followed by the same spike from earlier....it's immediately knew hew was worth my 2nd tag as I could see his rack was way beyond his ears. So as most do I stopped admiring the horns and got ready for the shot ,be ate a owns for a few min then finally turned broadside at 30yds (I had ranged the spike there earlier in the day) ,I settled the 30 yds pin and let her eat ....I heard the familiar thud and he mule kicked and ran up hill tail up. I didn't see arrow hit so I was a bit nervous of shot . I called my bud Shawn who was hunting the other end of the property to come help look. He had a pretty good walk out him self and by the time he got to me it was dark when we started tracking. We had Instant blood and followed a very good blood trail 175yds to him. Shot was actually very good .I got liver both lungs and top of heart...we were both amazed he went as far as he did....but I'm happy and slept in this am after and very looooong drag out! Big thanks to shawn, I'd still be dragging if it wasn't for his help. This is one of those rare Redding deer ??

Congrats again Jay!! Glad I could be there to help track and take pics...the dragging part kinda sucked though!! He was certainly worthy of the 2nd buck tag. Ace I know for a fact that he got at least liver/both lung/and heart. One of the lungs had a big slit as did the heart 2" cutting diameter helps.
