I’ll have to say I have already had the time of my life as far as hunting goes. This morning hunt is probably in my top 5 hunts ever and I’ll be 60 in March. It started off rough. I had on a lot of clothes cause it was cold. Got all situated in my Lonewolf and all of a sudden by backpack falls off the hook to the ground.
You can imagine the noise. So I climbed down and got it. When I got back up I knocked the arrow off my bow as it hung on its hook. I was hot so I decided to take my coat off. When I did I dropped my phone. So I got down again and back up.
Told myself to just calm down and relax cause already scared off everything within a mile. It in no time started seeing deer. They were coming from several directions. At about 8:15 I had 9 deer around me within 20-40 yards. I had a little 8 pointer at 25. Decided to shoot him cause I’m not what you would call a big buck only hunter. He was close and not spooked so he was it. About that the instant I was going to draw I saw a big boy come charging at him from behind. He ran the 8 pointer off and stood exactly where he had been standing.
I took my shot. Left to right was perfect but was a little lower than I wanted. As he ran off I could see blood from both sides. He ran about 100 yards and stopped and started switching his tail and walking. I lost sight of him and was worried. We let him set till 11.30. He had been dead all the while. He only made it another 15 yards or so.
What a morning. I’ll never forget it. I’m going to have Kenny post some pics for me.

After that beginning to the morning you made a heck of a recovery. Beautiful 10 point.
