MY DAD SAW HIM A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN WE WERE CHECKING OUR TREE STANDS. EARLY FRIDAY HE WAS BY MY DAD BEFORE THE OPEN AND I COULD HEAR HIM SNORTING AT MY DAD. I SAW A FEW DOES EARLY AND THEN AT JUST PAST 7 HE WAS STANDING 60 YARDS FROM ME. I SHOOT TWICE AND THOUGHT I MISSEDBUT WHEN I CHECKED OUT WERE HE WAS STANDING THERE WAS BLOOD. HE RAN BACK UP THE HILL AND I WAS SURE MY DAD WOULD GET HIM BUT WHEN I MET MY DAD HE SAID HE DID NOT SEE THAT BUCK.
WE FOLLOWED THE BLOOD TRAIL AND LOST IT AFTER 300 YARDS. WE JUST KEPT LOOKING AND WE FOUND HIM A HOUR LATER UNDER A DOWNED TREE. I AM JUST LUCKY MY DAD HAS SUCH GOOD EYES.
I HIT HIM LOW AND THEIR WAS NOT ALOT OF BLOOD.
I AM 17 AND THIS IS MY 5TH BUCK AND THE LARGEST ONE I HAVE TAKEN.
I SAW ONE BIGGER THEN HIMFOR NEXT YEAR.
