My first Archery Buck!!!

Was on the opener of archery. While walking to my stand 1/2 before 1st light , when I heard 2 deer fighting . I immediately found a spot to sit as the deer were fighting in an open field that was just cut the day before. I waited til 1st light & started rattling my rattle bag a few times . About 5 or so min. I heard a sound behind me I looked & here came this 8-pointer heading right towards a doe in heat trail I had laid out for the 2 days prior to the opener. The buck hit that trail & never lifted his head off it until I gave out a bat when he was at 18 yrds broadside of me. I let the arrow fly & about 80 yrds later there lay my nicest buck taken during archery.
