[QUOTE="Snake, post: 5779898, member: 7051"] I had passed on a really decent eight point one year because I had already killed a good nine point on our lease in Giles Co. Next hunt I seen a couple fighting just out of range and one was a really good buck . High tines and mass couldn't tell how many points though . Following weekend I'm hunting that stand knowing the bucks had been skirting my permanent stand I brought my climber and moved further out the ridge . Early that first morning I seen a couple does come over the ridge. Heard another deer and up jumped what I thought was that buck...but no shot for the hedges . I'm in full alert because I figured once he had decided to go after those does he'd be running . Gun up safety off I'm ready he clears those hedges and I'm on him and fire. Direct hit he runs maybe 30-40 yds piles up . He's down not getting up so I start climbing down . Friend calls and asks did you "get him" ? Yeah I got him he's down . Go to him and he's the buck I passed two weeks ago . Let down for sure so I let my friend hunt my stand because I tagged out . Tell him to don't shoot does until later in the morning because that buck is still roaming out there . What does he do ? Shoot three does before 9:00 texts " I'm done " !🤣 [/QUOTE]
