Well i think i got this stuff figured out. Here is the buck i was able to harvest last Wednesday evening. Was able to sneak home from college and go sit in the stand. Saw two smaller bucks and a doe before this one came down the trail. It was getting close to the end of shooting time, when i first saw him. He made a scrape about forty yards from my stand, and then proceded to come down the trail towards me. I was a little worried about getting a shot at him, because the trail literally comes three yards from the tree i was sitting it. I was able to turn and get around the tree by the time he was twenty yards out. He was quartering towards me pretty severly and i was worried about taking the shot. At eighteen yards i went "meeep" softly, and when he stopped, he took one step towards the swamp, giving me a much more broadside shot. I lined it up and let it fly. I really didn't see the arrow hit, and he walked away (towards the swamp) about twenty yards. I was scrambling for another arrow, and looking through the binocs to see if he was hit, and where. He walked about another twenty and started to sway a bit. Thats when i started getting excited. He walked in a cirlce about three yards across, swayed some more, did another circle and then he fell. At about that time i did about the same thing right from the stand, i was shaking so bad. Anyways i got down headed home, told my parents, and an hour later went and picked him up. I was able to get a complete pass through on him, with both lungs and part of the liver being hit. So far this year i absolutly love the new Wac'm broadheads.

He isn't quite as big as last year, but right around the 130" mark, altho his body is bigger than last years.

Very nice deer Charles. I dont know if you care but it might be worth it to take the rack to a certified scorer to see if it is big enough for Pope & Young. It looks to be pretty nice and could score well. It looks to be a 9 and it does take a very nice 8 to make the book, but it could be close.
