I was hunting a pinch point next to a stream. I heard splashing in the stream and light sparring. A few min later I seen 2 small bucks walking towards me through a thicket. So I grabbed my phone to take a picture. As I did that I looked to my right and seen another bigger buck walking towards me. I slowly put my phone back in my pocket and grabbed the bow. I shot him broadside at 20 yards, he ran into the thicket and bucks scattered everywhere. I lost track of which deer he was, and I began to doubt my shot because I didn’t see him go down. After a long wait, I found him 15 yards from where I shot him!
