I hunted this buck hard since bow season started I finally got a 40 yard shot with my Stryker crossbow 10 minutes after I shot him it started raining hard and I lost my blood and he went in a mega thick cut over I didn’t find him until days later hated to lose the meat but glad I found him he scored 161 3/4 not a bad buck for Cleveland County North Carolina
