It's been 10 years or so since I've killed a buck with a gun. I usually get one with a bow. This isn't my biggest ever but its the best buck I've killed with a gun. I missed a beast of an 8 point buck with a crossbow last week. The limb hit my bow hanger when I shot and deflected it. I've been having some bad luck this season. As I was getting ready this morning I put a lucky rabbits foot in my pocket. I had been in the stand for a couple of hours and hadn't seen much at all. I pulled the rabbits foot out of my pocket and threw it. A few minutes later this buck came walking down the hill in front of me. He was about eye level when I shot. He ran about 25 yards and dropped. I'm very happy with it and glad to be done for the year. I'm taking my daughter out this evening and hope she can get her first deer.  The 870 did a number on it.  This is the 8 point I missed with a crossbow. My Dad missed it a few days before I did out of a different stand.  |

Thanks guys. I can't wait to sleep in my next day off. It's not that old so it should be some good eating.  |

How much for the rabbits foot? It's still in the brush pile where I threw it. |

Nice. Always impressed by the guys who don't slap a scope on their slug guns. Wish my eyes were good enough to use open sights. I'd do it in a second. I can see the sights fine, just nothing beyond them. LOL.
