Well it was a short hunt this morning. We walked out the door this morning a few minutes before 6. We were in the stand by 6:11. I thought I heard something a couple of times walking but I never did spot anything. Then I catch movement and I can tell it's a deer walking from the left to our right about 50 yards in front of us. The buck ended up turning and walked back toward us. I think he was headed to the scrape which was to our left. I get the gun out of one of the windows and tell her to get ready. I cocked back the hammer. The buck stopped and he has us pegged at about 25 yards. I said if you have a clear opening, take the shot. Boom! I stick my head out and see him running away. I look at my phone and it's 627. Not sure if she hit him, hit a limb or what happened. He did have his tail down when he ran away. She said wow, that happened fast. I said that is how it happens sometimes. We climb down around 7am. We walked to were he was standing and find a few drops of blood. Then find a few more. I said you stand right there and I am going to walk around these briars and look for more blood in the direction I saw him go. I grabbed at my binoculars and glasses around the woods. I spot some white and said come over here. We walked on down to her buck and I shot this little video.
