"With only 5 minutes of daylight left I decide to climb down for the night. As I reach 4 feet from the ground I peak over my right shoulder only to spot the largest county buck I have ever seen in my life coming right towards me at 40 yards. My bow is on the ground, I'm facing the wrong way and the buck is downwind. At the time I thought to myself, 'There is no way I will get a chance at this buck, but I have to give it a shot..,' The buck continues to come at a steady pace right towards my stand. As the buck reaches 20 yards I manage to get my bow from the ground back in my hands. As the buck reaches 10 yards I knock my arrow and turn towards the buck. At 7 yards I come to full draw and as the buck clears a tree mere 5 yards downwind of me I release the arrow. This buck had no idea I was there. I have been bow hunting for 19 years and have never had an encounter with a buck of this caliber at this range. I have ZORBX to thank for allowing me to stay scent free and get close enough to harvest the largest buck of my life."
