Hunt Story
My grandpa dropped me off and headed back to his buggy. I sat for about 20 minutes, and then I heard something off in the woods and looked up and didn't see anything. Then I heard something again but still didn't see anything. The third time I heard it, I finally saw feet. It started moving a little bit closer, and then I saw that he was a big buck. I watched him for about 30 seconds, and he was about to walk off then he stopped. I shot him as soon as he stopped. I thought I missed him because he put his tail straight up in the air and jumped and took off straight towards my stand. He ran only about 15 yards in front of my stand, then turned and ran about 40 yards the other way and jumped across a drainage ditch. He did a little 360 and went down. I called my grandpa and asked him to come back and pick me up. I walked over to the buck to make sure he was dead, and I took a picture of him to send to my dad who was hunting on the other side of the property. My grandpa and I hauled him out and took him back to camp for pictures.
