My 10 point
I just thought I would share the story. I hope you enjoy
This is how it all went down. I got in my stand at 3:00 and got all settled in. I didn't see a thing until 4:30 and I saw 2 small deer heading my way. When they got close enough (3 yards) I found that one was a small doe and the other a buttonbuck. They would come and go for 45 min. All this time I was seeing other does here and thier. At about 5:44 I here alot of noise and deer running. It is 2 does being chased by a buck but they get about 70 yards and head off in the other direction so I hit the grunt tube a few times. A few seconds later I hear leaves crunching off to my left which was directly down wind and the oppisite direction from the other deer I had just seen. I look and thier he is at 30 yards and closing. I reach and grab my bow. I did not think I was going to get stood up but I did and he was at ten yards. He starts to walk off slightly quartering away and I draw. It is getting pretty tough to see so I take my time and find my pin in the peep. I give him a voice grunt and he stops at 15 yards and I let it go. He dropped on the spot. I hit him in the spine he jumped the string a little. I nocked another arrow and double lunged him from the stand. I got down and claimed my trophy. This is by far the biggest deer I have shot.
He scores 138 2/8.
