Saw your video last night, really enjoyed it.  Crazy that even after being hit, that buck had to face off with your decoy.  The dominance drive must be really strong for that to happen.  And what a nice blood trail.  A good hit with a low exit hole factored in well for that.  My GF asked what was happening with all the pictures of the leaves when we played the video.  So a good chance to explain blood tracking, and how they don't just fall over when you arrow them. 
Good stuff, thanks for posting.

forgot to check trailcam picture before leaving that day and the camera caught the buck after he was shot and after he knocked scrappy the decoy over ......
