Hunt Story
I got a pic and a half of him this year. There was a big 8 in the same spot last year, so I assumed it was him but who really knows. On the first morning hunt for him, just as the sun crested the trees, he appeared directly into the sun, in the clearcut, 100 yards away, and slowly walking my way. With the sun glare and violently shaking in excitement I switched back and forth between scope and binoculars to get a clear look. I decided he was a shooter and went to calm myself, when I noticed his doe, much closer. She had witnessed my floundering around and was turning to run. It's now or never so placed the shaking crosshairs on his shoulder and squeezed, he dropped. I met the land neighbor on the walk out and my back is forever great full for his help. Turns out they are also passing on some of the same deer waiting for them to reach maturity. Looking forward to working with him and watching them grow.
