Hunt Story

I hunted a ladder stand overlooking hardwoods with a field to my back. Buck came in from my left and headed straight to the field. When he reached the edge, he started grazing. It took him 15 minutes to move 15 yards, but each step was bringing him closer to me. I was able to stand up, turn around and make a 25-yard shot with my bow. The buck ran about 70 yards up the field and died at the edge of the woods.
