had to work friday, i got home and decided to put put some fresh corn and apples out in case i was going to hunt saturday... at the last moment on friday i decide to head out to my ground blind and see if anything would show up... just before dark i put my 45-70 xlr up and was watching through the scope, and within seconds i notice some movement off to my left... when the deer showed himself i thought i could see horns, he was broadside slightly quartering towards me.. its getting dark fast so i make my decision... i aim for my favorite high shoulder shot, and squeeze the trigger
when i get to the spot it is dark, i dont see anything at first, and then there he is
biggest buck ive ever taken... eleven total points... to make an even better life moment, my neice is home for the holidays, along with her 2 month old baby boy Aaron... his father is currently serving his second tour in iraq, with the United States Marine Corps, and has not seen his boy in person yet... i hope this will put a big smile on his face when he sees it
he seems to find his way into alot of pics
