Wanted to start by apologizing for leaving his tounge out. This is my biggest buck to date and in my excitement I missed that. I had seen this deer ten days earlier, and even took some pictures of him from the stand. He was out of range of my shotgun, but not my camera. On the 23rd I got to my stand around 2:00 on the edge of a cut cornfield and a strip of pine trees. A little after 4:00 I had 3 does walk into the cut corn. I was in the process of sending my brother a text telling him I was thinking of shooting one of the does when I looked back up and he was standing with them. I put my phone back in my coat and put the crosshairs on him. He was 90yds broadside and I got both lungs. I watched him go down in the field, and then felt my legs turn to jello. I haven't shot a deer in 4 years, in the hopes that one day I'd have the chance at a nice one. He's not a monster, but i'm proud of him. Congrats to all of you who have scored already, and good luck to all of you who are still chasing em. Been reading on this site for 2 yrs now and love all the pictures and stories. Attachments:
