On a whim I decided to hunt an area that I have never stepped foot in. I placed my stand in one of the thickest areas possible while maintaining the wind in my favor.
I rattled every half hour not really expecting to see anything. About 4:30 and about 5 minutes after one of my rattling sessions a brute came through at 20 yards. Not giving me much time before he would walk through one of my shooting lanes "auto pilot" took over and the arrow hit its mark. I heard the buck crash a short distance away.
I recovered the 8 point buck just 50 yards from the shot. He was definitely a mature (4 1/2 year) deer and his body was immense. At first I figured he would score around 145" but later I found out he was much bigger.
Here he is . . .
Thanks for stopping by and good huntin,
