Savour that moment and you'll be able to recall those feelings in the future.

Excellent story! I enjoyed every bit of that. Thank you for taking the time to write it up.

Good job keeping yourself cool headed, monitoring your body language movements and actions while subtly monitoring the same for the deer, playing the does well. Great thought process and decision making.

Thanks again for taking me along for the ride in my minds eye!

I bet its not just me, I'd rather hear the story or read the thread about a new hunters success on a young buck than a seasoned hunter's 5x5. Thanks for sharing RICK great write up felt like I was right there I'm really happy for you. Look forward to hearing more of your adventures to come. cheers!
