Best Bowhunting Memory

Bowhunting has always been my favorite hobby. I started bowhunting when I was twelve years old, and I have been bowhunting ever since. I have shot four bucks with the bow so far in my life. My most memorable hunt was two seasons ago. It was the 5th day of the 2008 bowhunting season and I had gotten out of school early to go bowhunting. It was a wednesday, the only day I had off from work. I got out in the tree stand that day a little after 3:30 p.m. About forty minutes later, five deer came through about 30 yards from my stand. I could tell the front three deer were does but I was unsure what the back two deer were. A couple minutes later one nice buck came out from behind the thick green brush. I was getting really excited because I kept wondering what the other deer was behind that thick brush. Finally the back deer walked out and it was the huge drop tine buck I had seen the night before coming home from work! He swaggered into a perfect shooting lane about 25 yards away. The buck was staring up at me in my tree stand. I was sure that he was gonna bust but he turned his head and i drew my bow back. The arrow launched from my PSE bow and struck the giant buck right behind the shoulder. I knew I made the perfect shot, and after waiting 30 minutes I got down from my stand and walked 40 yards over to my trophy! He was a 13 point buck and ended up weighing 255 lbs! This was my fondest bowhunting moment ever!!
