Hunt Story

I got in my tree about 30 minutes before daylight. When daylight broke, there was no movement and everything was quiet. About 15 minutes after legal shooting light, I gave off about 2-3 grunts. Thirty minutes later after the first couple of grunts, I still didn't hear any movement. Then I heard the squirrels go to barking from the direction the deer came from. Two to three minutes after the squirrels were barking, I saw the buck coming toward me. He then stopped what felt like for 5 minutes but was only for a minute or two. Then I got adjusted and got ready. He then presented me with a perfect shot on his left side. I turned the arrow loose, and I knew I had just put it in his pump house. He didn't run but 35 yards and crashed. I haven't been this excited since my first deer until this big buck here.
