So grabbed the crossbow this morning and went for a quick hunt before work. I had shot a big nanny doe on Monday with the ML on another property and lost it, so I was ready to kill one today.
Early around 6:45am I heard some rustling to my left, and this small 8 walked out of the bushes. I stopped him with a mouth bleat just to look at him and realized it was the one I had on camera checking for hot does. I ALMOST let him walk, since I knew I would tag out on bucks. But due to the property situation I decided to ground check him instead [emoji16] He looked around but about 5 sec later he was in full rut pursuit and started walking toward the cornfield. I stopped him when he turned more broadside, put the top dot on his vitals, and send one straight thru the kill zone at 15yds. I am using a knockoff rage hypo, and it cut 2.5in entry and a 2in exit. Hit right lung and cut the bottom of the heart.
Now the crazy part. I heard him crash thru the brush and into the cornstalks. I waited 25-30 mins after not hearing anything, cocked the bow and nocked another arrow and climbed down.
When i got to the field edge, I saw another deer running around and realized it was a smaller 6 point that I have on camera. He circled the field, then turned toward me and started running toward me! I was like wtf this deer is crazy, so i ducked for cover and moved to another spot. I didnt want to kill this deer in self defense lmao. After a few seconds waiting in him to come gore me, i looked and he was attacking something on the ground: my dead deer!
I had to yell and wave my hat at him to get him to run off. I managed to get some video
