Got this 8pt on 11/3/09 at 7:30am.
At first light, I saw a small fork horn come in. But he was walking funny. It looked like he had a bum left rear leg. I decided that I would take him if he came by but he never came close enough for a shot. Too bad. He really looked like he was favoring that leg quite a bit.
Then around 7:30am I suddenly heard a deer come right up behind my stand. He stopped directly under the stand then worked his way around to my immediate left. I grabbed my bow just in time. The buck moved right next to my 20 yard marker and I grunted him to stop. He was at about 18 yards. He turned into a quartering away position and I sent the arrow sailing through for a picture perfect-double lung shot. The deer ran 80 yards.
He's a nice 8pt with three little stickers on the antler bases.
