Look above the emotions . There are 2 rows of labeled boxes. On the bottom row , above the emotions , 4th in from the left , there is a picture link. Click it and put your address link between these two. Here's what the url should look like-http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/Michihunter/DadMom_edited.jpg If you insert that between these brackets [/img] the picture will appear. Be sure that it is a jpg format

I got pictures of the deer on my trail camera 3 times prior to arrowing it.

Here is the story behind the killl.
I got to my stand at 0555 hrs.today and was set and ready at about 0615 hrs.Shortly after getting situated,I heard a buck grunting off in the distance but could not see it due to the fact that it was still pretty dark.At around 0715 hrs.I saw 3 does feeding in the distance on the white oak acorns that are so plentiful in this area this year.After they fed off things got slow and quiet until around 0900 hrs.when two skippers and a mature doe appeared and fed along right to the base of my tree.I was watching these deer for several minutes when I heard a noise from behind me.As I turned around,I saw another doe feeding toward the other three deer that were around me.I was watching her for a few minutes, when I looked to her left and saw this nice 8 pt.feeding along toward the other deer.As I looked at the deer I realized that I had captured this deer on my trail camera earlier in the month. The buck was feeding head on to me at about 25 yards,but was begining to angle to my left.At 18 yards the buck finally offered me a nice quatering away shot.I drew my bow and made a perfect ten ring hit on the left shoulder of the deer.Upon impact the buck mule kicked(gotta love that)and started running hard.As it ran off it fell twice before regaining its balance and disappearing into the hardwood swamp.As I climbed down from my tree,I immediately found my arrow buried 10 inches into the dirt on the offside of where the deer was standing.I had a great blood trail and found the deer piled up just over 100 yards from where I shot it.As I was taking my time gutting,I found that tha arrow had taken out both lungs and the main artery to the heart.I was actually surprised the buck ran that far from such a hit.This is a hog of a bodied buck;it dressed out at 215 lbs.and has a decent 8 pt. rack.My equipment used is a Pearson/McPherson Edge,70 lbs.29 inch draw shooting a 28" camo Gold Tip 75/95 xt hunter tipped with a 100 grain Wac'em broadhead.My arrow was fletched with 3 blazer vanes and a flo. yellow Bohning arrow wrap.I also use the Magnock nock system,and a Scott rhino release.I'm gonna post its live picture also.
