Congrats man. There’s a deer frequenting my haunts that looks frighteningly similar but he’s a 5 on his left.

Was siting in my stand roughly 300yards back from field in some thick forest knowing from previous experience that the big bucks don't typically enter the field until after dark so I moved back into the bush. With shooting lanes and heavy trails to my left and where I expected the deer to come I can hear deer coming to my right of course. I stand up with my bow in hand I can see 4 does coming towards me they pass and walk into a small opening, I can see my buck coming through the thick bush he needs one more good step I'm at full draw and he doesn't move for at least 3-4 min, does have me busted down wind one walks towards me stomping buck looks at her confused he moves forward I see a small opening I know he's gonna bust I decide to try and shoot arrow goes in and he runs forward into a larger opening standing away from me I grab another arrow range 34yards he turns and smack double lung. I back out leave him for half hr and follow his blood trail maybe 80yards.
