2021 buck

I have had very little time to hunt this year with everything going on in my life right now. Today was my 4th time out. I let two does walk by. I almost shot one because I haven't got a deer yet and I need the meat. I decided to hold off because this is the only morning I could hunt until the gun opener. I hoped they would bring a buck back with them. Turns out that is exactly what happened. A while later they came running back with this buck grunting after them. I stopped him at 20 yards and took the shot. He was hit hard and ran down the hill. He went behind some brush and stopped. A while later I heard him crash. We used a few hundred feet of pull rope and a utility truck to drag it out. It's been a few years since I've killed one this big. I'm thankful for the meat that I'll get from it.
