The titan didn't get to haul it, the Titan hauled the equipment, a 88 Chevy hauled the Buck and another 97 Chevy haued the other 4.

That day was the PERFECT day, dead calm, and temperature was 45 sunny. The buck came out around 4:15-4:20 pm, saw what looked like branches moving. Then it came out and the branches turned to antlers. Waited for it to take 2 steps. "Mlaa" i whispered, the buck stops and Boom right in it's stomach. It does a 180, hops around about 15 yards then stops, his front legs were shaking and it just collapsed hard. I knew that was it.

Hyper ventilated for about half an hour during and after I shot it. After 7 years of getting does and bottom bucks, finally got my buck i've only dreamed about.

Another great buck goes down!.........I know that feeling of not getting a big buck for years.I've seen my share of nice bucks during the bow season but just couldn't get a good shot or was caught before I could draw back.
I don't hunt the gun season cause I love archery too much.I've been tempted.I keep saying maybe next year everytime the orange season starts but never do it....
But I'm from MN as well.Maybe we can meet up sometime and have a beer when I get back in town from Cali.I met one of the guys out here in Milpitas last week by San Jose.I'll be back this Friday.Let me know.
