Ohh yes the log spliter buck, in 2000 the year I ate tag soup. I did not hunt much because of work. It is now Dec and I have shot3 doe's and no bucks. I am hunting a nice 8 i have seen couple times. It is Dec 18th and cold as hell. I had to nock the ice off my stand. Sitting in the tree when around 4:30 I see 15-20 doe's. They are walking towards me, and deer always enter the woods in this spot. I look behind them and there he is, the big 8. I am now counting my chickens, at 30 yards out the doe's are coming in and so is he. At this point I hear the log splitter fire up, Dad is in his wood pile. Which is less then 100 yds away, deer freeze. Then walk to the other side field. Along with the log spliiter buck, LOL

PS
I cursed at my Dad for the first time, LOL
