I got the pic to work, here is the story...
Went to the stand I took the bobcat and a doe out of last year tonite. 10 minutes in a doe comes by at a dead run, I stand up for a bit tho I know it is way too early to be chased by a buck.
About another 10 minutes another doe walks in from the same direction, and noses around for acorns for a bit.
Then all is quiet til after sundown when I look down along the levee and a tank of a buck is coming around the corner. Heart rate skyrockets as I see he has a split G1 and an extra tine on the other side.
He works a scrape or two and my pulse gets down to around 200 or so. Now hes coming and.... he cuts across the field corner at about 30 yards , walking thru my only lane over there. Dang , he was sposed to cross right in front of me.....
I'm sitting where a timbered ditch comes off the levee and he heads up the ditch. I grunt, he looks and rakes some trees. He turns away and I am desperately thinking of something that will draw him back.
I remember E Donnel Thomas writing about rubbing his bow limb on a sapling to entice a mule deer. So what the heck, I rub the corner on my new bow's limb on a branch. Holy cow, he is coming back!!
But he cuts across the beans again, but this time a shade over 20 yards out, and stops right in my lane.
The arrow is away and he gives a short snort and rushes back to the levee brush line. I get down in a bit and scour the beans for my arrow, no dice. So I walk the way he went a few feet and a drop of blood! Then I look on down the way and the beans are covered in blood.
I back out and call bro John, he is coming home from work and comes down to help me.
Dark by now but good blood and easy tracking . The buck is down about 150 yards out. I don't know what he was doing when the arrow got there but the entry was 3-4 inches lower than the exit. Lucky I got a liver hit and maybe the back of one lung, there were bubbles in the blood and he had blood at his nose.
Praise the Lord! There he was!

Thanks folks!! I was blessed to be able to hunt there, and I actually picked the stand location. My brother John usually picks the spot where I kill stuff. LOL
Dale, the bow is a take down deflex reflex longbow I designed, built, and sell plans and materials for. 64" by AMO standards, 48# @ 28" , used a GT blem - 500 spine 30.5" nock to bop, with a 200 grain VPA 3 blade.
Penetration wasn't as good as the last 5 critters, but I fully believe he was making a fast move when the arrow got there. I was 4-5' above him and the arrow exit was higher than the entry.
