Virginia Bow Kill

   My little brother connected with this awesome deer on Saturday morning. In his words: "I looked to the top of the hill and saw him headed towards me about 100 yards off. He wouldn't present a shot when he got close, and kept coming closer, I had kept my cool, but I lost it and started shaking really bad when he was 10 yards away, still not presenting a shot, and looked straight up at me. I held still for a while and finally he took a couple steps and went behind a tree, I drew and shot him at roughly 8 yards."
   I was in a stand close enough to him that I heard a loud "whack!" when he hit the deer, but I was confused when I only heard it run for a few seconds, not really crash, and certainly didn't kick around. Turns out the buck simply ran 35 yards and keeled over, never flopped a bit after hitting the ground! 85 Grain thunderhead proving itself...

Here are the pics:

Congrats to Wyatt for such an awesome deer, and thanks for reading!
