I can't be the only guy on here from South Dakota that has scored this year so far...I shot this buck about 3 1/2weeks ago in Eastern South Dakota and it was one of the shortest, yet best hunts I have been on. Things just went picture perfectthat day.

Just after legal shooting time started for the day,this buck jumped a fence 35 yards from me and came right into my shooting lane at12 yards.First look, I knew he was a shooter,so I quit looking at his rack and picked a spot, shotand watched my arrow bury in just the right spot.He went about 20 yards behind me in some brush and I thought I heard him tip over, but I never saw him go down. I waited about an hour in the stand just to be sure, and when I got down to look for my arrow, I could see antlers 20 yards away. Man I love it when a plan comes together!

I am hoping to see some other South Dakota boys posting somebig bucks soon...I saw a nice buck pushingdoes around tonight so the time is here!

Good luck all!
