Hunt Story
I had gone hunting the night before and saw several deer at dark. I retrieved the sd card from my trail camera but didn't look at the pictures until the next morning before hunting. I saw three pictures of a big buck coming near my stand right at legal shooting light. I was shaking just looking at the pictures. I got to my stand an hour before legal shooting light and waited as always. As it got light, a doe and a fawn came down a hill right behind my stand. I could hear something else up behind them but it never came down. About 10 minutes later I saw the deer coming down the hill through the tree limbs. As it came closer, I could see his antlers as I raised my gun. Instead of following the doe and fawn, the buck walked straight toward my stand. When he was in an opening between the branches at about 20 yards, I took the shot, the shot that provided me with the biggest buck of my life.
