I got settled in about 6:00 this morning and by 6:25 this buck was standing underneath my stand. I couldn’t believe the buck I was trying to harvest was standing right there…30 minutes before I was legally allowed to shoot!! I watched him walk off and cross the creek expecting him to get shot on the other side. At 7:25 I heard a shot over there and my heart sank. Then two more quick shots rang out and I was cheering the deer on to just keep running..just hoping they missed!! 😆 So a little before 8:00 I heard some crashing behind me…a doe was being chased by a small forkhorn. A few minutes later a spike is out in the field staring off towards where the two deer just came from. He starts to run towards whatever he’s looking at, but I can’t see anything. Next thing I know here he comes flying back by and I hear crunching leaves coming!! I look back and here the big one comes!! He steps behind a tree which allows me to get my gun up and get the scope turned down. I gave him the ol’ mahhhh to stop him at 30 yds and by then the bullet was on it’s way!! It was time consuming getting him out, but it’s worth it!! Here he is…main frame 8 with double brows and some kickers!! 13 points…could maybe be a 14, but I’ll say 13. Incredible story, picture and deer! 👏
