Now to my Story. In the first 5 days of season I had seen 4 small bucks 4 dogs 1 hen turkey and a bazillion tree rats.
Then Thursday afternoon I climbed in my stand even though the wind was blowing in the direction each of the other deer had came from. My dad was confused as why I would do this and I explained to him that my trail cameras pics lead me to believe the bigger bucks I was looking for came through in the opposite direction.
I got to the stand without be busted and settled in. My plan was to flip the can call and grunt a couple times every half hour. At about 5:30 had a deer respond but from down wind and it blew and ran off without me even seeing its head. This made me 2nd guess my decision to sit here. 10 minutes later I had 2 dogs come thru. So things weren't looking good.
Around 6:20 I hear deer coming from behind me passing me on my left. The 2 does stopped to eat under the canopy to my left and I kept finding them thru the scope but pulling the trigger only in my mind. It was then that I saw a 3rd set of legs. He walked into an opening at 15yds but he was not one of the bucks I was looking for so my heart started to slow back down but only for a second. I noticed another buck following behind and he was a shooter. He stopped in an opening but at the angle I had to shoot my string was riding against the gun rest. He walked under the canopy. My heart was pounding and breathing was shaky I followed him thru small openings and finally got my shot. I didn't see it hit him but heard him crash hard. He was quartering away and I took both lungs into the offside leg. I found him 60 yds away.
