Today started out the same as every other, but ended up in way that i will never forget....after not the best day at work i came home and decided to go sit at a local spot for the last hour and a half of light. Upon entry to the woods i spooked a doe, which was snorting and carrying on throught her whole jaunt throught the woods. Figuring my late arrival and this doe raising hell like she did, my hopes fell a little more. But hey whats to lose. So i jacked up in my tree and decided to enjoy the scenery. During my sit i recanted the handful of sightings of a buck that seemed to only show himself when i wasnt hunting. With that...I see a large body deer moving through some very thick cover, and it's headed my way following a scent drag that was done on my way in. As he breaks the clearing theres no mistake this deer is nothin to snicker at... gotta make the shot count. I let him come in to 10 yds and took the shot. Shot looked good and i followed him as he went down through the woods only to hear a crash. This woods that the deer was takin in is a place where my three brothers and i grew up building forts, catching snakes, and just being kids which makes it kind of cool.
