[HuntingNY-News]

"By the time he walked away 20 yards, I was ready and simply sent the arrow on it's merry way!" he said.

Migell Wedderburn, of Pennellville, poses with a 10-point buck he shot with his bow on Nov. 14 on his property in Pennellville.

He wrote: "I almost let this buck walked away because I shot him two minutes after sending a text message while sitting in my stand!

"When I saw him he was no more than five yards from me! You should have seen me fumbling to put pocket my phone.

"I reached for my bow, grabbed the release aid out of my pocket, and barely pinched it on the bowstring when the arrow fell off the rest! He heard it and began to tense.

"By the time he walked away 20 yards, I was ready and simply sent the arrow on it's merry way!"

"He fell dead 15 yards in a brush."
