Saturday, November 5th started clear and frosty. After fulfilling obligations all week I finally had a day with nothing to do and all day to do it. I tossed my gear in the pickup and drove to the farm I hunt in Indiana. With a steady SE breeze predicted, I climbed to a treestand on the north rim of a brushy hollow. The rut activity was fast and furious around me all morning.
This buck came by several times during the day.
I only planned on hunting until noon, but could still see 5 bucks and numerous does and decided to stay in all day. I had seen 15 different bucks. Two of them were tag punchers; a wide 8-point and a stacked 10-point.
My shadow did a 180

At 2:00 the 10-point blew by me chasing a doe at 12 yards. I drew, but let down; just not a good opportunity. At 5:00 the wide 8 pushed two does out of the hollow and hesitated on the rim at 20 yards. The shot flew true and capped the end of a great day.
