22 minutes after legal light I hear a shot come from Dad's direction and send him a text asking if that came from the north of him. His response was "no, me".
My son and I were hunting together about 500 yards south of dad so I told him to just sit tight and I'd head his way around 9:00 or so.
In the next hour Easton and I saw 15 deer including one shooter but it was nearly 200 yards out and just too far for him to shoot. We just watched for a while until it finally turned and followed a doe away from us.
About 845 I get a text from Dad saying "shot too soon. Have a giant in front of me". The deer didn't stick around long and was gone by the time Easton and I got down there....dad said it was an 8 and bigger than the one killed last year by a lot and his last year was a 150" 8. Possibly Eleanor??
Anyway...the ugly Axis did a good job and the heartshot buck only ran about 40 yards.
(The barrel is well clear of Easton)
