    Thank you everyone I really appreciate it! As I said I will post a couple more pictures in the morning and do a quick write up.

    I will say that it was a pretty boring hunt that turned exciting very, very fast.

    I'm in the stand boys. I had one blow at me when I was walking in so maybe they're up moving around. I dunno. Be safe to all who are out.

    Alright guys sorry to keep you waiting, sorry to keep you waiting but I did a little celebrating last night.

    As I said it was a pretty uneventful evening in the stand. I had one long doe sneak up behind me around 6:15-6:30 and never presented a shot. A few minutes after that I had two fawns come out in front of me. After those two milled around for 10 minutes or so they kept looking back to where they came from. My initial thought was, moms coming out.

    I had just looked at my phone, 7:01. As I looked up I caught a glimpse of a deer butt heading into the woods about 60 yards in front of me, again I thought it was a doe. Then 3 small bucks appeared where the one went into the woods. My whole thought process changed as I saw the small bucks.

    The biggest of the smaller bucks, which was a pretty little 8 pt about 100 inches was poking around the other 2 so I decided to throw out some grunts and that when I saw my deer raise his head from behind a bush inside the woods, game on! After I grunted the 8 pinned his ears back started grunting up a storm and was walking stiff legged right to my stand. As soon as the 8 started grunting my 10 busted out of the woods and into the beans, started grunting and began to spar with the 8. He stopped in a bare spot at 25 yards, I drew, took a deep breath, and touched the trigger.

    The shot seemed to be in slow motion and I saw my fletching disappear right behind the shoulder. He ran about 60-70 yards, made it just inside the swamp and all went silent!

    I definitely appreciate it guys! Ya know I’m not the most active guy on the forums, but you guys have certainly added to the experience of the hunt. I have my good friends and family at home that I can drink a few beers with and share stories after a hunt which is amazing. But the camaraderie here is second to none!
