2 seasons ago, it was my second season. It was opening day of rifle season. It was a completely new property, I had never even walked on it before. I was late getting the stand.
At 10:15 I had pulled my phone out, to call and tell my dad to come pick me up....Then I hear some crunching in the leaves. I just figured it was a squirrel (still looking at my phone) then I hear a snort....There stood the biggest deer I had ever seen.
Shot once, completely missed. (Buck fever haha) He took off running, I jerk up accidentaly kicking over my doe bleat can, and that made him stop right in front of my stand. I shot again he expired 30 yards away.
God, I will never forget that day.
