Well I got one, my biggest yet. I haven't seen any bucks this season and only a doe and a fawn that lives on my property.
I walked into my stand before shooting light and got up and settled down. One of the neighbors walked in about sunrise and scared off my doe and fawn. They came from my left somewhere and mosied in front of me at about 30 yards. I was going to shot the doe when she suddenly took off. 45 minutes later I put on my face mask because the wind was picking up. So now I can't hear as good, but I did hear what sounfed like a deer jumping a fence. When I turned my head, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. There he was on the same trail following to where the doe and fawn went. He got to where the doe took off and stopped for a second. Then continued past where she went. I went meeeh and shot. He mule kicked and took off for thirty yards to my right and stood. He took off down the hill and never came up the other side. I was fist pumping the whole time. I got down and went to the shot site and found blood and hair. I followed the trail for fifty yards and saw him laying in the bottom of the ravine.
