[QUOTE="MadCowRacer, post: 1366189, member: 95523"] Got this 8pt 15 minutes into the hunt this year, so not much of a story. Got up in my stand and I could just see across the field I hunt on. Pulled up my pack and got it clipped to the treestand. No sooner do I look up and see a couple does wandering across the field out on the treeline. Grab my binoculars and start glassing when I see about four more deer walk out of the woods. One is a buck. I check out his rack and think hmmmm maybe I'll pass since I had seen some real beasts the night before while driving around and glassing fields. It's a good thing that I decided to wait at first because as I tried to range find him I found I was shaking like a leaf. I haven't had that kind of buck fever in several seasons. Well my desire to put meat in the freezer and still have a decent buck got the better of me and I put one in him at 125 yards with my 20ga H&R ultra slug hunter with a 3" AccuTip. The buck trotted through the tree line and walked about 70 yards before dropping. I waited about an hour to see if there was blood since I didn't want to go tromping around an hour into opening day. So after the longest hour ever I climbed down and went to where I saw him go through the trees. Just as I was getting to the opening, I look over and see a nice rack staring at me and I see a nice 9-pt that my brother eventually shot. This was the biggest bodied deer I have shot yet with an absolutely massive neck. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wbqLyj7.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
