Big Buck Down
Well guys, I took the day off and I'm glad I did. I was walking to my stand and there isn't any good way to get there without bumping deer. So, of course, I bump 3 deer getting to my stand. Thought, oh great. Well get in the stand and a little 8 pt. came behind me right at sunrise and his silhouette was awesome. I grunted at him just to play around with him. Hejumped the fence and made his way past me. Then I turn around and notice a pine trees branches moving but there wasn't any wind! This guy was making a scrape and licking on his licking branch. I can't even remember if I grunted at him. I was trying to find my binoculars but he made a b-line right to my stand not using any of the trails either. He jumped every tree that has fallen down and was 10 yards from my stand. I already had bow in hand and was a full draw. I waited for him to get by a little tree and I released...arrow flew and he just stood there. I thought what the hell..I just missed at 10 yds. No way. I try to re-nock an arrow but he just kinda trots off. I get out the binoculars and notice about 50 yds away a light colored shape and I think it was him. I get down..bump two more deer getting out of stand and try to find my arrow. Blood covered! Relief. Boy was I happy when I got to him. Went threw both lungs and nicked the bottom of his heart! He is a main frame 10 with scorable stickers. Already at the taxidermy. I think he is roughly 140-145. What do you guys think? Good luck.
