After about twenty years of hunting and quite a few spikes two points and three points I finally got the wall hanger .We went to our usual stomping grounds in region 3,after finding the does my hunting partner stalked in to the bottom of the cut block while I went into the top to wait and see if he would spook anything up .the trees where 10 to 15 feet tall so visibility was poor .
when he got to about 75 yards from me we heard the thumping of deer running away and I just saw the deer's but running away. We went up to the road 200 yards away to see if it had crossed the road ,but could find no sign of where it had crossed so I went back in .
I spotted the deer through the trees looking at me but could not tell that it was a buck until it started to walk away. I took a shot but missed because the trees were to thick. Must have hit a branch because I had him in the cross hairs!
We went back to camp feeling a little discouraged even though I had no idea that he was that big!!
The next morning I skulked slowly back in to the same area hoping for another chance ,after about 30 min of sneaking in there he was , he had no idea I was there .I had lots of time to take a deep breath and find a log to rest the gun on for a 100 yard shot.
I pulled the trigger and saw him flinch and run. After waiting a few min. I slowly made my way to the spot he was standing, I found no hair or blood and was starting to get worried. I headed the direction he ran and 75 yds over the rise there he was pilled up.
Until this point I hadn't really realized how big he was !!!!
