Thanks guys! All I can say is he is beautifull! When anyone looks at this animal, they dont even see it as being dead, just beautifull.

I went out Wed. after a wet morning hunt on Tues to sit in the same stand, I was in the stand about 15 minutes after first shooting light, It was a foggy calm cool morning and just the condensation from the bare branches of the trees were making noise in the woods. Then all of a sudden crashing, getting louder, closer, and before I could even get my bow in my hand there goes a doe in a semi circle around my stand at 30 yards, just seconds behind came a small racked deer hot on the trail at about 20 mph. No way no chance, just tails bobing accross the tall weeds to the fence line and away out of sight. I hit the grunt, and then the bleat, and back to the grunt. Crap, crash, I hit the video camera on and here comes another buck from in front of me, this boy was on the move too. I gave out a mouth grunt and he stopped long enough to catch he was an eight or better and straight to the doe trail and out of the corner of the woods where she entered, I know he was disapointed when he found he was going the wrong way!!! Only 20 min. later I have another buck comming from the field behind me, trying to get this one on video, I aim the camera in his direction and hook my release to the bow, of corse bumping the camera at the same time, this one is on the move too???? now he is at 20 yards and I am unhooked from the bow and moving the camera back on him. Thinking this is going to be great!! On video!!! NOPE.. he busts me hooking back on to my string. Head bob and a tail flick and off he goes, hits the doe trail andgone. Screaming mad, I shove the camera around the tree and turned it off after getting a few choice words to it. It could not have been another 20 min. and here comes another buck, this one is taking his time, came in on the doe exit trail, crossing it several times and just seems to be wandering in my direction, one more chance with the video.I give a grunt, and he stops at the woods corner and flashes a profile of his head gear, four long tines at 50 yrds, with out glasses, thats all I needed to know, thinking "man thoes are long". He walks in to 30 yrds and I am prepaired this time for him to follow the doe trail out around me, I get an obstruced view and draw "stumbling some, not smooth at all" and set the 30 pin on him, he walks off the video about now, and comes in to 20, not on the doe trail, still with the 30 pin, man I almost screwed up, I caught myself and move to the 20 pin and let it rip, He was at about 15 yrds, hit just the top of his sholder and did not pass through, just the tip of the broad head was sticking through the other side, he ran about 80 yrds and gave in.

No sents, nobait, no special calls, just the right place at the right time. I think this hunt had everything to do with the hot doe that blessed my hunting stand that morning.

MR. big is at the taxidermist as of today, I asked him to score it and suggested that I takeit to a Pope and Youngscorer.I went out and bought a Canon so I can get you guys the pics. I found a nice place next to a river. I know it was not his place, but I hope the pics. do him some justice. I will post them later, dang network admin. locks everthing out.
Good luck guys, bring us some bucks!!!
