HuntingNet.com Forums - Blessed with a Buck.

I've waited/prayed for this day for a long time, with whatever weapon so destined to be in my hands to do it with. Granted he's not a monster, he's the Biggest deer Ive ever even had the opportunity to take a shot at.

One thing I migh have donedifferently.... taken my bow instead. While the shot rang from 130 -/+ yardsat 3:00pm today. He was standing only20 yards from my stand. So move if you feel neccessary, no hard feelings, policies are policies.

I thought since the rut is in good now, I would get in plenty early... which for me was 2:30pm I park and start my walk down the field edge to where I wanted to enter the thicket I decided to hunt today. I break just over the slope before it gets super flat(old airport) and see deer.

Right away I knew it was the same deer that I had been watching all year the 2 bb's and fawn doe. These deer are out Every day. I had no intentions of takingany of themas hope for when Matt/TN comes up he may have a crack at one of them. So I get on my belly and crawl to a good glassing point to enjoy the show as to not spook them getting to my spot. I wasnt there very long at all, when I notice that they keep looking back into the woods, and you know what that means. And yes it was what I was hoping and apx 3pm out steps horns, Nice enough for me to take a glance and not think twice.Dropped him. Loved it. I was fist pumping all the way down the field.:D

And ABSOLUTLEY HUGE neck on this guy, and his tarsels were soaked half way to his hoof. "I'm Pumped" thats about the correct choice of words.What a blessing from theLord. As I enter the woods each day with the same prayer. Knowing it would payoff one day and if not thats fine too.;)Now hopefully it;s not the last[8D]
