Well I got my first Arkansas buck this morning. Had been on my stand since 5:30. Wanted to be settled before anyone else moved into the neighboring woods. At about 7 o'clock I glanced into the open field in front of me and there he stood at about 70 yards. I was so shocked to see one so soon after the season started that I completely missed him with the first shot. He only ran about 10 yards, turned around and looked in my direction. Needless to say the second shot from my 30-06 did it's job. He's a mainframe 8 point with a split brow tine on the left side. He had broken off his right side brow tine but there is a sticker that's just about 1 inch long so I'm calling him a 9 point! Has several other stickers that give the rack alot of character.
