BBD!!!!! First bowkill
Put this guy down just after sun-up today! story to come later.
If anyone can put the pic in the post i would appreciate it
Just after sun up a little 6 point showed up about 100 yards out working a tree branch. I hit the doe can 3 - 4 times and he started heading my way, all of sudden he just holds up and heads back to the tree. I waited about 5 or so minutes and hit the can one more time. the little6 looked my way, and then this fella strolled around a big hedge bush and headed my way. I came to full draw when he was about 40 yards out and behind a tree, when he came out from behind the tree he was about 10 yards out. He quarted a little and thats when i took the shot. He bolted about 60 yards out and crashed in a ditch. I gave him about 45 minutes before i walked up on him. While waiting another shooter8point buck came by my stand. It was a quick hunt, but very very exciting.

He was quartering towards me. I know that it isn't a shot that many would take. I felt good about it and he didn't go 60 yards

I wasn't questioning the ethics, just asked out of curiosity.If you felt confident in the presentation of the shot op, that's all that matters.
