Finally got a decent day to hunt and turned out to be a great day. Dad dropped me off at the field and I walked in from 300 yards. First leaves of fall have started to drop so I had to watch where I stepped as I approached the stand. 15 ft up, and I see 5 yearlings and 2 does approaching the pea field. Looks like they had a good spring on the little ones. So many eyes and noses I just knew they would wind me as they croosed my path coming in. But they didnt! Great, I thought, now if the Buck will come smelling around. Just then I see something through the Oak, an antler, then a nose, then an ear, 5 minutes go by and another movement behind the first. Keep coming keep coming, I thought! Then he steps into the clear, 30 yards, a nice buck. Outside spread, yeah its wider than the ears, Im gonna take him. Just as I lift the gun, the second deer steps broadside to the first and blocks my shot. Its a small coffee cup buck, maybe 6 points, I wait, the large bucks snorts and the small one hauls ass, too close he musta been. Bad choice for the buck. Dropped him in his tracks, never kicked! 8 point,16 inches outside, 150 lbs, nice way to start the season.
