I've been hunting for 9 years, and killed a Button Buck in 2002. Killed a 3 point in 1997... and a nice sized Spike in 2000, and a big Spike this year. Think this one was 2 1/2 years old. 150 pound range. I shoot whatever I see. Last 2 years I only seen 4 Deer. I'd shoot a bigger Deer if I had my choice. But I shot a samll Doe Fawn on opening day, and that's the only Deer I'd seen all day. Went back after bringing that one in, and missed a bigger Doe. It was smarter and stayed behind a group of Tree's. I went again on day #3 and shot the big Spike, it came running by with a big Doe. I did'nt even notice the 7" Antler's until he was laying on his Side. Would'nt of mattered though. Someone had shot it a day or two prior about 6 " above a hind hoof. [8D]
