hurry up with the story, I enjoy the entertainment!Well, the landowner was right. The deer were running everywhere. Runniing is the operative word. To my surprise, I saw an old friend, a shoote rbuck I have seen before. He is not too wide but very tall with very long tines. I estimate him at between 130-140, a nice 10-point.
Also to my surprise, I was ablr to get to within 41-yards of him. In this wind with a crossbow, a 41-yard shot is not an option. As I was trying to figure out some way to get closer, she walked by and pposed at 23-yards. That is an option. She went 20-yards and dropped.
Then, I realized just how far I was going to have to drag her. I going back to bed now.

Checked in and already picked up by the guy who wanted one. One request left to fill and I go buck hunting.
