What a great story! I am jealous as I was bowhunting just north of Santa Barbara two weeks ago. My buddy spooked a buck with a rack in-between the two you got and it ran past me at around 20 yards away just before sunrise. I lost hours of sleep over if should I have taken a shot or not, but I'm glad I didn't now. Maybe I will find him over the next few weeks.
Cherish those memories and congrats to you and your brother!
