Great hunt this morning. Went to a new stand sight that I scouted last week in the rain and saw lots of good sign. It's a long way back in the woods and about half way up a ridge that leads to an uncut corn field so I waited until I had enough light to see without making a bunch of noise. Got in my stand at about 0630 and at 0730 had a doe come in down wind of me at about 40 yards. About 0830 I heard noise in the ridge above me and could see some bush branches moving...obviously being worked over by a buck, but I could not see him through the thick stuff. I finally got a look at him and thought at first glance that he may not be a shooter. There was a spike with him, but the spike went up to the field and the 10 came my way. I only had one chance to make a shoot / no-shoot call and decided I'd shoot. He stepped into a lane at 35 yards, I bleated, he stopped and got a muzzy through both lungs. I could tell the shot was good and heard him crash seconds later.
Thankfully the land owners son wants to learn about hunting so I went and got him to help me drag it out. Also thankfully we had permission to use a neighbors place to recover this guy and that saved us one hell of a long, hard drag through bottoms and up steep hills. He is in the fridge now and I'll do a Euro-Mount on the skull after I measure. He won't score well with only a 12" inside spread, but he has nice bases and is a good buck. I'm not sure how to post the picture itself so here is the link.

I'll get him scored soon.
