Pope and Young #2 down!....so early?

Ohio's Archery season started on the 27th of September and by October 1st I had filled my buck tag......
one of the perks of being a Teacher is having weekends off and being done with the work day at 2:30..plenty of time to get in the woods.
On this particular day i wasnt so lucky, Parent teacher conferences were keeping me at work untill 6:15pm. With a cold front moving in over the past two days and the increasing big buck sign i was seeing, I wanted to be in the stand so bad i couldnt see straight. I happend tobring mybow with me in the morning....you know.....just incase....and my hunting gear is always stored in a tupperwear full of leaves and sticks in the back of my truck. All day i was fighting the urge to leave conferences early out the back door.....no one will notice i said to myself...im just a gym teacher...no one talks to me anyway.....by 4:50pm i couldnt take it anymore and i was out the back like i stole something.
My brother (PAbrent) and I had hunted this particular farmthe opening weekend and saw twosmall bucks and several doe but nothing to brag about. knowing a bruiser was in the area i opted to give it another try but in a different location, 50yds back from where my brother (PAbrent) was.
5:20pm,cuttin it close...I hurried and threw my gear on, grabbed my climber and headed in fast but quiet. I had an idea of where i wanted to be, a funnel that contained a scrape the size of a truck hood that my cuddeback was monitering and buck rubs on trees the size of my leg.I found a tree 45 yards from the scrape that would work for my climber and give me a shot in all directions. Iscurried up the tree ....5:45pm
I was starting to doubt my decision of leaving work early and getting into the woods so late when 7pm rolled around and i hadnt seen or heard anything. shooting light was fading fast.....did i spoil this hunt by getting in so late? did i spooke anything that would have come my way?.....kicking myself in the @$$ i started to pack up, i wanted to get down and out before light was gone. suddenly i heard a "crack" and shuffle of leaves....that distinctive sound you know is NOT a squirrel. I turned to find a buck standing at the giant scrape just 40yds away! I could tell he was a good buck but couldnt get the details due to all the leaves stillin the trees. I grabbed my bow, clipped on the release and waited as he fed on acorns....closer and closer.....he is a monster!...closer..... the shakes are setting in..... when he ends up 3yds from my stand and i can hear him crunching in acorns my heart was skippin beats. I had to take my attention off of his rack and focus on what i had to do....I was in the zone!! I let him walk a few more steps.......drew my bow......and released an arrow that hit with a SMMMAACK!...right in the boiler room.....I knew he was hit hard....jumping and kicking his back legshe took off like a shot then faded fast about 40 yards out......HE'S DOWN!!!! I had to sit in my stand for a good 20 minutesbefore i stopped shakin enough to climb down.
Walking up to this giant Ohio whitetail was awsome....13pts...both brows are split, eye guard coming off of his left beam....bases i could hardly get my fingers around....tines that reached to the coulds...and a pig!!...this beast weighed every bit of 280-300lbs. This ismy biggest buck ever andmy second pope and young buck in two years, I am definately hooked on monster whitetail hunting. Hope the picture attaches to this, if it doesnt that means i dont know how to do it and could use anyones help.....Cant wait to spend some time in the woods with my dad and brother here in the land of giants.
