Well I took everyones help/criticism from last year and had much better luck an much more fun. I took it as a personal goal to not let anything fly beyond 30yrds boy was it tuff blew alot of stalks on alot of big deer but it's what the animals deserve. After a long 21 straght hard days stompin around covering alot of ground blown stalks an gettin wore out felt like callin it a year after the last week or so the deer simply just disappeared. But keep thinkin about what I read on here an on huntin shows never give up hope always stay positive so that's what I did an luck sure did change. Got up one morning hiked deep into this canyon before light watched on a good advantage point for deer movin seen a ton of deer but either does or too small. So it got hot an late I was so beat an tired wanted to just call it a day but somethin told me just keep going. Someone once told me if u want it bad enough it will come. So I started hiking seen some deer bedded an found the one I wanted put a perfect stalk on him an belly crawled into 17 yards pulled back an let it flew buck didn't go more then 15 yards. Not the biggest buck I had a chance at but for sure one I'll never forget. I'd post a pic but he's prob not as fun looking at compared to the big ones on here. He's a 21in wide 2 point.

Congratulations on your first archery buck. Tell me, when you crawled up that close to a mule deer.....one on one......wasn't it an incredible experience? That's what it's all about right there. Way to stick with it.
Congrats, let's see him.
it's nice to read a story like this, its getting almost extinct. I'm more excited to read your story than a thousand i've read about some guy cranking out a 70+ yrds shot, because he is in his comfort zone, and posting a "i lost a buck" thread.
heck yea man! congrats! thats bow hunting at it's finest, there is no way you can look back at that situation and not think " that was awsome!"
post it up!
