Our Azone archery season opened this last sat here in CA. I Went out on opening morning and saw quite a few deer including a few legal bucks, but none of them were big enough to go after. Went out again yesterday morning and after seeing a few does, I came across 2 bucks and one of them was a beauty. I made my way down into the valley they were in and was able to get within 100 yrds of them. Only problem was they were on a wide open hillside and there was nothing I could use for cover to get much closer. I was able to get to 78 yrds before I ran out of tall grass. I practice shooting out to 100 yrds a lot and new I could make a 78 yrd shot. As I drew back the deer still had no clue I was there. As I let the arrow go, I waited for what seemed to be an eternity before I heard the arrow hit the buck. The buck kicked and ran into the brush. A few seconds later I could hear him crash! When I walked up to where the buck was standing I could see blood everywhere. I followed the trail and 70 yrds away in the brush I saw my buck. I couldn’t believe his rack. The closer I got the bigger the rack got!! When I finally got him out of the brush I was so stoked. He was a beauty!! What a way to start the season!!
