1st Deer of the year, 1st Buck ever! Updated pics
This past weekend I went down to SW MO to hunt with MOmightymite on some private ground he scored through his job at Bass Pro. Looking at google earth and topos I had a good idea of where I wanted to set up in a nice funnel between two woodlots. Matt(MOmighty) was going to hunt the spot I was looking at but decided to giveit up to me and hunt the other side of the farm (Which he now regrets lol). Friday evening I saw 3 does and got a shot at one but hit a limb about the 3 ft in front of me that I couldn't see in my sight picture. Clean miss but I was pretty mad that I didn't wait til she went a little farther and the overhanging limbs were an issue anymore. I decided to keep my stand in the same tree for the morning hunt.
During the morning I hunt, about 8:00 I look across the fence and see a couple does being chased. Soon after I see two bucks, one nice 8 pt with some stickers and junk around his bases and another smaller buck. I got out my grunt tube and gave a few grunts and the smaller buck made a b line for my stand. While making his way to my stand the larger buck was making a snort wheeze and this was the first time I had heard it in the woods. The smaller buck stopped about 15 yards and I let one fly. I thought I hit him a bit far back but luckily he was a little more quartered away than I thought and I took out both lungs and he went about 50 yards.
Two tines on his left side were busted off but he was a nice 2.5 yo and I was pumped to take him. He scored 83 2/8.
Here is the only pic I have right now. I have a bunch of others but my buddy is a bit slow in getting them to me.[>:]
I'll update the pics when I get better non blurry pics.

130: I left the bigger buck out there for him to kill, I thought that was enough to keep him happy.
Yea I'm sorry I don't have a better pic right now but hopefully today I will get the good pics off another camera.
