First come first serve tag punched(first arc

[Tctaylor9]

Picked up a first come first serve tag that I actually wanted to get in the first draw but messed up my application for first draw, tried again on 2nd draw but was unsuccessful. Wasn’t going to be picky without being able to scout or anything. Me and a buddy bumped this guy and his little buddy the other morning and was fortunate enough to watch where they bedded and sneak in on them within 40 yards and then the wind swirled and they busted out to 60 yards and got him to stop with a grunt and let one fly. Ran about 80-100 yards down the hill and tipped over dead only 100 yards from a road! Couldn’t be more grateful for my first archery buck I’ll take it! Maybe I’ll hold out for something bigger next time!

Great story! In a time when hunters are screaming for more opportunity its great to see someone taking advantage. Sure it was short notice and probably smoky but you went out and made it happen anyway!-----SS

Yeah, I wouldn't eat that if I were you. It appears to have a hole in the wrapper, and some nasty leakage. ?

Nice buck, and congratulations.
