Hunt Story
I hunted until a little after 9 without seeing any deer, so I climbed down and put my stand and gun in the truck. I was looking around the hay field thinking I need to put a tripod next to a big tree. That’s when I saw a doe about 250 yards away. I got my gun back out of the truck to look at the deer. As I was watching her, this buck came out. So I eased very quickly through the field to get closer for a better look. All he had on his mind was the doe, so he didn’t pay me any attention at all. I got close enough to tell he was a mature buck. I got as steady as I could on a knee and waited until he turned broadside then took the shot. DRT
