Here's my first buck with a bow. After 8 hunts and over 40 hours in the woods this year it finally paid off! I moved to a new tree and apparently I made the right decision Saturday eveing. This 8 pointer met his maker at 7:35pm Saturday evening. Ran 75 yards with a double lung shot thanks to my Muzzy 100's. I watched him for 10 minutes at no more than ten yards from my stand. He was with another tight and tall 8 that gave me a clear shot but I waited this one out. It was dark-thirty when I took the shot, a minute or two more and it would not have panned out. He was checking a fresh scrape that I had p'ed in that afternoon (I've heard of doing this but never tried it until now, it works!) There was a point where I couldn't see the deer but I could see the dirt he was kicking up. It was an awesome experience and will never be forgotten.to the man above for this.
Here are some pictures. I heard the kids playing the whole afternoon while in the stand which is 400 or so yards from the in-laws backdoor. I thgouth I wasn't going to see anything that night. Never give up!

very nice!!
don't count on it working. this method will work sometimes with some people. Deer can't not relate an odd smell like that with humans. they relate a human smell with humans because we educate them by stomping around in their territory all the time. THe pee doesn't happen often so the deer don't relate that to a human, some deer have the curiousity factor and will coem on in to investigate, some big bucks and mature does will simply turn and walk away and aren't very curious. yours is def. a great buck, guessing it will score in low 130s to mid 130s . thats a lot of hours you spent on him and a very tough thing to do this time of year. a lot of time people mess it up by hunting early in the year and educating a deeer, nice call on the stand change, thats the reason you killed him!!!
