About 3 weeks ago I had the opportunity to do some hunting near Kenedy TX with a friend of mine. I was able to take this buck at 25 yards near a pond in a mesquite thicket with my Hoyt bow. Being ground level with this 5 1/2 yr old buck at close range was pretty exciting. It took several minutes for him to get clear of enough mesquite and prickly pear to allow a quartering away shot between the last two ribs. He was out of sight as soon as the arrow hit. He went about 30 yds, making a quick recovery. It took an hour to get all the cactus spines out of him after his mad dash after the shot. Everything in south Texas has a spine or a thorn. He rough scored about 165 beating my previous archery best of 152.  |

Man is that a trophy!! Even with a rifle I would have been shaking so bad from buck fever I doubt I could have hit him!
