5th day hunt state/private land

[tomc]

well as you can see its posted under deer harvast reports,the monkey is off my back.we hit private land behind my house first thing stayed untill the woodcutter showed up,we saw nothing,the wind was blowing in circles,so bill and i headed over to state land.we got there a 9 am,we were almost to the edge of the field a shot rang out on the opposit side of the property,we saw nothing running down.i got to my stand,and bill headed up past me to his spot.he radioed me and said there was someone else set up with a blind 50 ft behind where he sits,and was going to his second location,about 5 mins past,i heard a snap behind me,i turned to look,squirles,look forward to my left a buck ,nose down comming out of the beech trees.he came to the edge of the logging rd.and was smelling up and down the edge.was reluctant to cross due to bills scent,i think,i watched him with no shot,then he started up and away from me,with nose still to the ground,i picked up my gun and started looking for a window,ahead of him,i found 1 small one,he walked right into it.i took the same shot as sat.deer that i lost,and the whole time i was saying sqeeze the trigger,sqeeze the trigger.took one shot,down he went,and stayed down.i waited untill he stopped kicking ,got down and walk to him,about an 80 yd shot,i could see where bill was supposed to sit and i could see the other hunter.i was suprise the the other guy didnt see him first,we walked right in front of him,it was a 7 pt,dressed at 187lbs
