    Things are heating up! Thursday afternoon the 29th of October I got in my stand around 4:30. I did a bleat/grunt sequence about 10 minutes after I got there and a small spike came right to the base of my tree. I watched him for about a half hour. When he disappeared out of sight I did another bleat/grunt sequence. When I looked up "the drop tine buck" was standing at 60 yards. I pulled up my binos to confirm it was him. At this time I started shaking like crazy. He started closing the distance quickly to 40, then 30, then 20. This is when he made his final mistake turning broadside at 20 yards. I stopped him and let the arrow fly. He ran up the hill and stopped at 30 yards. As he was running i could see blood pouring out. I turned to hang my bow and grab my binos and by the time I turned back he was gone. I assumed he went down but couldn't be sure. We went back to the house and nervously waited for an hour and a half to go look for him. We walked up to where I thought he went down and there he was. We have close to 50 trail can pics of him this year. I'm proud to have finally killed this beast after five years of not taking a shot on a buck. View attachment 63271 [​IMG][​IMG]
