Well, it's been a tough season for me so far, but I punched a tag this morning. I saw more deer this morning then I've seen all year.......at least 12 or more. Bucks were running does everywhere, but I couldn't see them to tell how big much less get a shot due to it being so thick. This buck came in grunting behind 4 does. It was so thick that I couldn't tell a whole lot about him and made a quick decision. I shot, and he ran about 20 yds and stopped. I got reloaded, and he took off again. He hit an opening and warped the ground on the 2nd shot. I was shaking like a leaf it was so intense with the chasing, couldn't see, and then having to shoot him twice. This all happened before 8 this morning. I'd be lying if I said that I was a little disappointed and had some ground shrinkage when I got to him, but it was an exciting hunt. His left side which I saw is perfect, but his right side was messed up and must have been injured in velvet. He was a big bodied deer. I was still excited just due to the whole ordeal this morning.
I actually hit him back the first shot. I think I hit a limb but got high shoulder the second shot.
Also, I pulled a card from a camera 30 yds to my left. While I was trying to get on this deer, I had a pic of another buck that I think was bigger than this one that I didn't know was there due to focusing on the other deer. I saw a doe there right before the buck I killed came over the hill. Crazy morning that I won't soon forget.
