I had a great hunt this past week and was blessed with an opportunity at a once in a lifetime buck. He snuck in behind me as I talked with some does that came to within 10-15 yards of my stand and milled around. As one doe bleated I suddenly heard a deep bellowing grunt directly behind me. I slowly turned and saw this monster cautiously closing in at about 15 yards. I had been statue-still for about 45 minutes with the does around me and my hands were frozen solid. I was a mangled mess of nerves as this buck walked directly under my stand and continued until it stopped 10 yards away directly downwind of me. I was certain his nose would bust me but thankfully I had a few hot does just upwind as well. One by one the does filed out into a wheat field which sealed the bucks fate. He followed their direct path and offered me a 15 yard quartering away shot that took out just about all organs including a bulls eye into the heart. He ran about 45-50 yards and crashed. His gross green score is 200 inches and he field dressed at 191 lbs. He has drops on both sides. The drop on the right side forks, and the drop on his left side is 13 inches long. He has double main beams on the right side and he has 16 scorable points. Both drops still have velvet on them. This buck has it all! I'm truly blessed.
