I shot a 120ish 8 pointer out of the front window of my house one morning, I was drinking coffee and scratching my do-lallies, that hunt lasted just long enough to raise the window and pull the trigger, lmrfao

That's a good one Chaneylake. I'm still trying to learn all the texting abbreviations, so what is "imrfao"? I guess I was born
too early for this kind of stuff.
They are called abbreviations..........aren't they? Probably not.

Tell us about the buck you killed down on Powell Road , up the powerline toward Bear Creek....Ray W. said it was about 700 yards. Maybe he exaggerated abit...? It took you quite a few shots to range him (Ray said seven shots total to get him)but you wound up hitting him in the ear. great shot. I'd never try a shot that far or even passed around 200 yards, but I'm not a great shot like you.

This may not have been my fastest, but it was one of my most unusual bow hunts.
One cold 22 degree morning last November, in Illinois, I was perched in my API about 10 AM when my cell phone buzzed me. It was my wife. She needed me at home. Frustrated, yet understanding of the situation, I hit the ground. PRIME TIME.
My bow still had the quiver AND bow rope attached and I had JUST unzipped my coveralls in preparation for the hike back to the truck.
As the coveralls fell to the ground around my ankles I heard frozen leaves rustling above me on the side of the ridge. At a glance, and only at a distance of about 70 yards, I saw RACK.
I quickly knelt, untied my rope, took off my quiver, nocked an arrow, attached my release, and then looked up from my kneeling position. He was CLOSE! 15 yards.
I was on my way home, the November rut was about to be over for me in Illinois. I did not study this buck except long enough to see it appeared to be a big bodied deer. I knew it had branched antlers. And I was on the ground 15 yards from it with only ONE tree between me and him. I drew as he walked behind the Red Oak. At 15 yards, I settled the pin on his heart. I saw the arrow pass through. The buck ran TOWARD the truck and I saw it fall after about a 45 yard dash.
It was a really nice 7 point that dressed out 130 pounds. Eye level with it it looked like 250.
The whole sequence took only seconds.
BTW, I have noticed MANY times during November that either before, during, or after my ascent, or descent on a tree (especially a Pine) bucks will run in on me. I think they interpret the sounds as a fight.

I have never killed a deer nor hunted anywhere in the area of Powell Road, it must just be another small town rumor, this continues the reason that I basically purchase only gas in Brownsville and make all other purchases in Jackson, small town gossip and the people that believe the crap just amazes me
I do not even know Ray W, I have heard the name but I do not have a face to go with it

I have on several occasions gotten into a bow stand and within 10 minutes shot a deer. last year i was trying to screw my bow holder into the tree in a slight rain and barely enough light to see cause of the heavy cloud cover and a deer walked right under me and was out of range before i could even get the bow strung with an arrow.....only deer i encountered the entire morning.
