BowTech it is 10 years old.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Awesome Buck!
I actually hunt a lot away from home in state. I have permission to hunt a few properties from the far North of the state to the far south of the state. I hunt anywhere from a couple miles from home to 250 miles from home. When I cant' get anything going in one area I switch up and go to another area. I moved around a lot less this year than I usually do. I was after a couple of monsters but couldn't catch up with either.

Killed the buck on the 5th at 5 PM. Waited until mourning to retrieve the buck just too dark and thick. To do much of anything. Got him home yesterday was hunting about 250 miles from home. I will put together a story of the kill and post it up when I get a chance. Always hectic when you kill a buck.
This season as every season was different. I tried to get on a nice 15 point buck but just couldn't ambush him. I also had my eye on a really huge 8 pointer. No luck on that buck either. I did see the big 8 once but no shot too far.
Anyway I hunted hard and in my mind efficiently. 36 days it took to get it done. Did not hunt the same stand twice. I love to move around and sit different spots. Keeps the anticipation up.
I put up my XOP tree stand at 12:30 PM on the 5th of November. It was very windy just like I like it. Wind was from the NW. (20-25 mph I would guess) I set up on the down wind side of a doe bedding area. I couldn't get any bucks patterned so I switched to rut tactics.
I was on an oak flat with gullies to the NW and to the SW. My plan was to catch a buck trailing/chasing does to the oak flat I was on. I saw a couple of scrub bucks through out the day.
At 5:00 PM I saw a buck pushing a doe towards me. I kept my eyes peeled and saw another buck. Both looked pretty nice so I got my bow off the hook. They went by me at about 20 yards. One was an 8 pointer and the other was the 10 pointer. I decided I would pass them up.
I hung my bow back up on the hook. The 10 pointer then circles around and walks directly towards me. He gets right up to the tree and looks straight up at me. I thought well he's gone. Wrong!!! The 10 pointer then walks under the tree I'm in and stops quartering away at 15 yards.
Now I'm thinking he's looking better by the minute. So I got my bow off the hook (again) and drew back. I settled the pin on his vitals and thought “I need to aim farther back because he is quartering away”. I put the pin back about 6 inches, and squeezed the release.
The arrow penetrated right up to the vanes, “poleaxed”. The10 pointer takes off on a dead run. The 8 pointer runs after him just as hard. Both bucks head down the gully (SW) on an all out run. I can only see them for about 75 yards.
I gave it a half hr. I was 100% positive the buck was dead. I could find no blood wasn't any. I got about 50 yards down the gully and could see the 8 pointer walking around. He was waiting for the 10 point to run some more I guess?
I kind of kept going down slowly, it was dark by now and I had no blood to follow in the thick brush. The 8 pointer finally spooked and took off. I got up to where I last saw them from the tree stand. I could see nothing (just too thick and dark) so I decided to wait until mourning.
I went back the next mourning at first light and found the buck right away. Only went 20 yards farther than I last saw them. The 10 pointer died in stride and landed up under a cedar tree. He was laying dead right where the 8 pointer was walking around. If I would have another ½ hr of light the night before, I'm positive I would have found him that night.
I'll skip the drag out part, because if I leave out the curse words I didn't say much.
Beautiful buck Stanley, congratulations
