well, this season has been nothing but bad since oct 1st with trying to keep trespassers off of new property i got permission to hunt and being harassed everytime i went there. on the 25th i decided to hook up with my buddy and hunt some public land where he got video from his stand of 6 bucks 150yds in front of him sparring and feeding in a power strip. i was impressed with these bucks. all of them were big. huge 6, 8 and 10 pointers all together and on public land at that. so we went out that morning and i used my climber to get up one of the trees he already had marked off on the edge of the power strip. we were set up well before daylight. at 8am i seen movement to my right. i slowly looked and here came the huge 10pt right down the power line strip on my side of the woods line. he was on a mission...he was on a dead walk and was not wasting any time. i was going to let him pass me so i could stand up and draw without him seeing me and as soon as he got right in front of me i was going to stand up and something else caught my eye so i looked and it was this guy you see in the picture. i thought oh great i cant draw on mr. big now because this one will bust me. so as i waited for this guy to clear, mr. big got out of my comfort zone. i had a split second to decide then if i wanted to take this guy or not...well, by the picture you can see that i went for it. it was a 20yd shot...i stood up, drew back, stopped him and let the arrow fly. he bucked his legs so hard and high that he actually did a half front flip in the air before landing on his face..never had one land on its face before. he took off down the open strip falling every 3 feet or so before finally piling up at 60yds in sight..it was pure devistation..i love G5 striker heads...im a little sore that i didnt get to take mr. big but like i said before, i have had a rough start to the season and i really didnt think i would even get a deer this year with the way things were going...im glad i got meat in the freezer and now i can relax..some people hunt all year and dont kill a thing...the 10pt would have been nice but with this 5pt i can say i still got half the points.....
