Huntnma,
I was seriously thinking About you when I saw that deer..I remember you saying I was going to get a big deer this year..

Here is what happened..I went to a place where I had saw a huge silouette last year..I already had the area tacked out..It was in a thick hammock within a mile of the river
enough hint..LOL At 7:20 a small doe appeared out of nowhere about 10 yds from me..She looked , stomped and blew..I could of sworn I heard a light grunt after she blew..3 hours later will confirm I hgad heard a grunt..

Anyway..my "Can " was hanging up...I had already used it twice but it sounded sick..I read 6 chapters of God's Word..I said."Lord, it would be really neat if you would send a buck my way." I was concerned how easily the doe saw me and turned my Summit 45 degrees..WRONG!!!! So my back was toward the direction the deer would b ecoming.WRONG!!

At 10:00 o clock ..God as my witness ..I gave one more "Can " bleat..It sounded perfect..10:15 ..Behind me I heard what sounded like a baby squirrel. I slowly glanced behind me..

OH MY GOODNESS..th efollowing is the truth..I saw a huge deer in the opening..His head is looking straight..His rack is wide between 18 and 20 inches wide..He had between 8 and 10 points about 7 to 8 inches high..My entire chest was BEATING HARD..my prayer..Please God..don;t let this buck stop walking..I thought about Huntnma..maybe she was right..My thumb pulled the hammer back..The deer couldn't see me because the bay tree was behind my back.

He stopped..for about..30 lond seconds..I then heard 2 hard stomps..He retreated and in 2 seconds disappeared..

I was EXTREMELY DEPRESSED>>and still feep bad..
After talking with the pros,,,when he was walking I should have LEFT handed quickly put ehe cross hairs on him and squeezed the trigger..From now on at the range..1/2 my shooting will be left handed..Diffently a Florida Registry buck/

God bless,
