hey , i had a 5 or seven point come in the swamp area tonight .( couldn't make out if he had brow tines )
i draw a bead on him from my ground blind and i'm waiting for a clear shot .
WHAM ! one heck of a monster buck slams him from the side , pretty much double the size of the first one . and then he just stands there snorting !
now usually i'l let the big ones pass on by , but this is one of those bucks of a lifetime !
i'm shaking like crasy , telling myself over and over " it's just a target aim small shoot once "
yea right ! i blast the clump of trees , he just moves closer to them . now i'm waiting and waiting an eternity goes by and dusk is setting in and he tries to skulk down and walk out , BAM !
HE RUNS OFF ABOUT THIRTY FEET AND DROPS !
now i'm on cloud nine ! i walk up twards the spot and he jumps up and is gone thru the brush in a split second . no time to shoot even if i remembered to reload (which i didn't )
points on him were pushing the upper teens or low twentys . he was the hugest buck i have ever seen . the smartest too , there was no blood in his possom playing bed .
well i know he's clamed that area as his teritory , i'll be looking for him , i already know one of his tricks , i won't be fooled again .
