Hunt Story
Saturday afternoon was sunny and cold. We picked a stand that worked with a north wind where two mature bucks were caught on camera recently in the daylight. Three does fed thru around five o’clock followed by a 6-point. About 5:30 I glanced thru the pines to our right and saw a deer on a steady walk. I put my binoculars on him and immediately realized it was on of the mature bucks on the hit list. Cannon got his rifle propped on the rail, and when the buck crossed a shooting lane, I stopped him with a grunt. Cannon squeezed the trigger and the 5-year-old 10-point dropped in his tracks at 75 yards. The celebratory high-fives quickly followed.
