Nice shooting. Nothing better than when they start to sway and fall in sight. Good story telling too. Thanks.

Thats my kind of story.  Right to the meat of it!  Great job tellin' and great job doin'.  What a buck and what a hunt.  I share your aversion to ground blinds by the way.  Way-too visually confining for me especially in the  deer woods.  

Did you plan on standing, or did it just happen without you thinking? Risky, but you da-man. Nice work my friend.

Whoa!  Great job Bret, you set the bar pretty high with your first ground kill.  :clapper:   My first from the ground was a little spike, don't know what would have happened if her had walked in at 8 yards......congrats on a job well done.

Thanks everone, I still can't believe it myself.  

Randy, I would have had a tough time shooting from a seated position.  I guess I didn't even think about standing, I just did when he went behind the bush.  

I am a firm believer in having a good screen of tree/brush/etc. behind you when on the ground.  I think it helps to really blend you in.  Neither of the two bucks saw me, even at close range.  WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What a rush!

John, thanks again my friend.  He didn't appear to be that big to me either.  I guess it is ground Growage.  Glad I got to know you on our trip to Alaska, can't wait for our next hunting adventure.  

Adirondack,  I do feel that sense of accomplishment, but I am still in complete shock.  Almost doesn't feel real, or may surreal.  It does make you feel a bit invicible.    :smileystooges:
