I shot this buck sitting on the ground up against a tree. The day before I had a 10 point come in about 40 yards away. He was standing straight on. I could have shot him in the chest but past up. He would have scored in the 160s. The next day I had this buck come in same spot but I had a broad side shot. Shot him in the heart and the arrow came out of the hind quarter on the same side the arrow went in. Figure that one out. And he didn't have any teeth. He field dressed at about 190. This deer had to be at least 7 to 9 years old.
