Not alot to the story. I set up on a small thicket lined ridge that tends to be used for bedding on it and a bench below. I set up right on the edge of thick cover to open cover.I had 2 young does come in and browse at one o'clock. Around 3 I hear a doe blowing off in the distance to my left.I check the wind and I'm good.A few minutes later you hear hard running coming up the hill right at me.Out pops a huge doe at full run right past my stand at 10 yards.She runs another 30 and stops before running over the ridge onto the thick bench below.A minute later you hear grunting and running right in her tracks.Out pops a nasty looking 3 pointer.He hot tracks her right over the hill on a hard run.They circle me and head back in the direction they came from.At 3:30 I see ole big boy comming from the ridge below checking the thick cover of the bench.He hits the does trail and starts following her trail can't can't decide if he is going the right direction.I hit the can call in my pocket and give him 3 bleats and he is on his way.He follows her trail straight up the hill at 10 yards he gives me a quarter shot and I send my beman ics,tipped with a 100 grain slick trick mag right through him.He ran straight out the ridge and starts to stagger at 70 yards.He tried a few times to get up but it was not happening today.I watched him for 15 minutes after all movement stopped before getting down and packing up.No tracking needed today.It took me hours to get him loaded onto the atv by myself.He's got some serious weight to him.I found out this morning that my cousin saw him running does last Thursday but they never came into his range.
