Halloween 10 pointer

I killed my first 10-pointer on Halloween morning. I finally listened to my wife's advice and hunted a field next to our house. Whenever I go hunting somewhere else, she loves to tell me how many deer were in the field. I took out the climber and found a nice tree overlooking some trails that entered the field. Of course, three bucks came in from directly behind me. The only one that came within bow range just happened to be the biggest of the three. The other two were a small 8-point and a little fork horn. The ten-pointer stopped in a small opening at 35 yards. The shot was a little farther back than planned, which resulted in a long tracking job. The only person home that was able to help me track was my mom (She was an avid hunter with both gun and bow during the 80's). My wife called a friend of hers and asked her husband to come and help me. We had never met, but he came over to help as soon as he was done hunting for the morning. If it wasn't for their help, I don't think I would have ever found the buck.
The deer was pretty young. We guessed him to be 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 years old. I have not been able to break the 8-point mark since I have been hunting, so I didn't think twice about taking him. I think I am going to take a couple of weeks off and wait until gun season to try for a doe.
