Default RE: Got my deer already

I had good luck hunting in Washington County, we have approx. 200 acres we hunt near the WV border. I got into the woods about 0630 and perched in a wooden treestand I built a few years ago. I' m about 240 lbs, so its difficult for me to ascend this stand in silence. At about 0715, it became light enough to shoot and much to my surprise a nice buck was bedded about 100 yards to my left, it never spooked when I walked in, must have used that wind to my advantage. The deer noticed that I was there, but stood up and fed in an area that did not present a shot. After a few minutes it began walking and I was able to get off a shot. Idowned the deer at about 80 to 100 yards. A nice 8 pt with a 15" spread, I consider it a great deer for the 4 point restriction in Washington County. good luck to everyone else.
