Shot this young buck this morning at about 10 am. Was sitting in a tree stand overlooking a trail when this 3 point buck came from behind on the left, walking fast. Gave the Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sound and the buck stopped and turned. i immediately fired; when the smoke cleared the buck was on the ground. Buck thrashed for about 30 seconds but was still breathing. Reloaded quickly, exited the stand and administered a coup de gras.
