RugerM77.270

It was Dec. 16th 2006, about 60 degrees and foggy. I had beenin the stand about 45 min. when I caught movement in some tall dog finnels. I looked and saw two quick flashes of white. My first thought was that it was turkeys bobbing their heads. It disappeared then came into a second opening and I saw an antler and it disappeared again. Whenhe hit the third and final opening in the weeds I was ready, he was about 15 yards from the property line and a 100 yardsfrom meso I bawled at him. He stopped on a dime right behind a tree covering most of his vitals. My mind was racing I was like "What the crap. My first chance at a good buck and he's covered by a tree." Well I know that myMarling 30-30shot straight so I laid the cross hairs about 1'' off the tree and figured I'd kill a deer or tree. I shot saw a whirl of fur and then nothing. My hunting buddy called me and I told him I shot my fist buck, he asked how big I said it only had one side of its antlers cause that is all I saw. I had made a bad shot on a doe two weeks earlier an my mind started running and I thought I had made a bad shot that was the longest 20 min. of my life. When I got out of the stand and got about half way to where he was last standing I saw he was DRT and was a full eight point. He hangs over my desk in my office right now. This is a story I will carry with me forever and tell my kids, thanks for letting me share it.
