It was starting to seem like a fruitless day -- nothing in the morning and nothing in the afternoon. My daughter and I are hunkered down in the ground blind to stay dry. Then about 4:30 a doe comes out. I'm watching it and she says there is a buck behind it in the edge of the woods about 30 yards behind the doe. She shoots and the buck runs off over the top of the ridge. We give it about 10 minutes and then go over to look for blood before the rain washes it away and we lose the available light. The deer ran about 80 yards just over the ridge in the field and then jumped over into the edge of the woods where we found it. Nice Haywood County nine point.

Congrats! Last time I sat 6 hours in the rain I was in a pop up blind turkey hunting and saw or heard nothing, definitely took some persistence for that deer. Good buck
