Short and sweet KY gun season. Yesterday morning wasn't real eventful but saw 4 does and 3 bucks, including this guy but I missed him at 50 yards. Still no clue how. The evening hunt was better seeing 15ish antlerless but only 2 bucks.
Went to the other end of the farm this morning and hunted a box blind over a field back in the woods. Before legal time I seen 4 bodies walking across the frost then just after 600 a spike and a 4pt came out of the bottom of the field at 130yds. Few minutes later this dude came out behind them. I'd said I wouldn't shoot him if he came back but after watching for a few minutes, I figured I didn't need to be an idiot twice in 1 weekend. Took the shot at 120yds and as the smoke cleared I saw him enter the woods and all was silent. Honestly I was concerned I missed again because he didn't seem in a hurry and never heard a crash.
30 minutes later I had to go check the site of the shot to check for tracks anyways while the frost was still good. Within a few minutes of found a single drop and glanced up towards where he went and there he laid 15yds away, he fell right where I saw him enter the field.
Cool ending to the story was a few minutes ago I noticed a shed laying in the barn that I found this spring, it's an exact match to this Buck.
Where he laid on the edge
Big bodied deer, filled up the bed
And finally the shed
