Damn, looks like a yearling bull ;D.

Ranger B:
Wow, that would be a task to get out of the woods. I'd have to go get all of Twin Oaks to help me and pray that Jesse was around ;-)
Congrats on monster.

Key:
Thanks again guys. Correction on the date I got him. It was Oct 30th of this year and of course not Nov 30th. The short story goes like this. I spotted the buck coming from a fields edge at aound 100 yards out. He closed the distance to my stand and stopped to work a scrape at about 30 yards from me. He than came right to my stand, within a few feet of it facing me. I was up and ready but no shot. He than turned quarting toward me and I took that shot on his right side. He ran behhind the stand and up over a small  hill where he stopped. He feather end of the shaft had broken by than and I was concerned that I was too far back, hopping for at least a liver hit. My plan was to wait until morning to go after him but it started raining a couple of hours after I got home. I decided to go and find his trail. I found him dead not more that 40 yards from where I saw him last. There was 11 inches of tipped arrow in him and both lungs were cut up real bad.
I don't really know how long he stood in front of the stand but it seemed like hours. I really thought I would get busted and he would bolt away. That one
step exposing his vitals happen so quickly it was all a blurr when I shot.
This old sefbow has killed 3 bucks, two does and a couple of hogs.
