11/24 Hunt.

[Vincent Vega]

Decided to go out around 2pm today and sit, call, grunt and rattle the afternoon away.

A little after 5:15p, I scan and see a nice 8pt checking scrapes along the tree line in my pasture. I grunted loudly and he stopped, looked my way and I ranged him at 221yds. He started walking and I grunted once more, he stopped, looked my way again and I took the shot. I watched him drop his head and tail and take off into the woods. I heard him crash into the thicket and plow into a tree.

This puts me 1 tag away from tagging out for the season. This was a very enjoyable day!

Different deer. My neighbor's brother-in-law got lucky and shot Wally the same evening I took my first buck of the season, a couple of weeks ago. He took him roughly 150 yards from where I sat earlier the same day.

It's ok, we have several more really nice ones that will be shooters in the next couple of seasons. I have a large 6 pt now with a similar spread as Wally's, he is going to be massive in 2 to 3 years.
