Although this weekend was shotgun season here in illinois i figured i would share my hunt with the board anyway.....approx. 2 mins after shooting time and 10 mins after i get into my stand i hear that great noise of crunch crunch crunch coming my way. I get stood up and turned around...nice 6 pt standing 15 yards from my stand..sure shot with a bow but ive got a shotgun in my hand so ive got all the confidence in the world...i shoot once and i MISS!!!! How the hell i missed is beyond me...i think i raised the gun or something stupid but man was i pissed....so i shoot again and bam he drops..doesnt move for like 10 seconds...i sit down to catch my breath and relax and the buck jumps up and runs towards where my old man was sitting. 45 mins later i climb down and take up the trail assuming hes done for sure the way he dropped and didnt move when i hear BAM...i had kicked up that buck and he went lurking slowly 50 yards from my dads stand and he dropped him. How cool is that? A hunt to remember i must say.
