Hunt Story

Killed opening day evening in Jenkins County. Hunted all day, changed locations three times. Finally set up on a creek bed next to the thickest stuff I could find on the property. He was being pushed by a very large buck, but I could never get a shot on the larger of the two, so I took the shot on this one right before light ran out. I grunted throughout the day and had seen a 4-point earlier in the day. It was a good outing, I usually am an avid hunter when bow season comes around but with renovating my home and preparing for our second born's arrival, (Nov 10th) left no time to practice and tune my bow. So I just planned to hunt this one day as my rifle is always in check. Shot was further back than I would have liked but had a very small window of sight and time, and he had no intentions of stopping. Recovery was about 5 yards from initial impact.
