Not sure if you remember me posting a pic awhile back of a 250 pounder.
Well after hunting this particular buck for a month. I finally beleive it or not got a shot at this buck on Wednesday afternoon , but my arrow found a 4 inch maple instead. The buck after the shot ran off for 60 yards and then slowly walked off. Hopefully I was thinking at the time that he was not to spooked from the noise .
Well not wanting to let VixChix down this year I wanted to get after the big boy again since time was running out. So Saturday afternoon had me sitting in my stand 3:00 p.m. Then at about 4:30 I could hear foot steps in the leaves and a 1.5 year old little 8 pointer was heading my way. I could see another deer in the distance heading my way also. And after a few minutes I could see it was the deer I was after. Then the nervous shakes hit hard. It is funny how you can be warm one minute then you see a 12 point rack heading your way and you instantly become freezing. I was shaking and freezing all the same time. He slowly made his way to me and at about 15 yards I let him have it ( this time I made sure no tree's in the way ) I hit him perfectly right behind the shoulder double lungs. He ran off to about 40 yards and stood there before he got wabbly and fell over. I was so excited I did not even think about gettin down because I am sure I would have just walked right off of my stand, So once I was composed after about 30 minutes later I carefully got down to put my hands on him. I walked over to where he lay and I was so happy to have harvested the buck that I had hunted so hard for over a month now. When I got him home I weighed him , and he came in at 222 pounds even. All in all I was very happy with the buck and very glad it was the buck that I really wanted.

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
