| A LATE START |
| I WENT OUT TO MY DEER STAND ABOUT SEVEN O'CLOCK SATURDAY MORNING. I GOT A LATE START BUT I DIDN'T MIND. I WENT AHEAD AND GOT IN MY STAND AND SET THERE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. I WAS GETTING REALLY TIRED SO I CLIMBED DOWN AND WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE. I DECIDED TO GO BACK OUT ABOUT TWELEVE O'CLOCK. AS I WALKING BACK I SPOOKED UP A SMALL BUCK. AFTER NOT SEEING NOTHING THE LAST TWO DAY'S I WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM BUT HE RAN A LITTLE WAY'S SO I STOPPED AND PULLED MY GUN UP AND I DIDN'T HAVE A CLEAR SHOT SO I WENT AHEAD AND WENT TO MY STAND. I STARTED USING A CALL TO TRY TO BRING HIM BACK BUT IN THE MEAN TIME A GOOD BIG 12 POINT WALKED UP BEHIND ME. I FROZE FOR A SECOND NOT BELIEVING MY EYE'S HE WAS WALKING RIGHT UP TO MY STAND. I WAS SITTING ON THE FLOOR OF MY STAND IN THE FORK OF A TREE SO I SNAKED THE BARREL OF MY GUN THROUGH THE LITTLE BRANCHES. AT THIS POINT HE WAS RIGHT UNDER ME. I HIT THE UP RIGHTS FOR THE SEAT OF MY STAND AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE HE HEARD ME. HE STOPPED AND LOOKED AROUND. I GOT A GOOD AIM ON THE KILL ZONE. I TOOK THE GUN OFF SAFTY AND HE LOOKED UP AS I PULLED THE TRIGGER AND HIT HIM RIGHT IN THE LUNGS. HE RAN ABOUT 50 YARD'S AND I WATCHED HIM DROP. I COULDN'T BELIVE I WAS ONLY OUT THERE ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND GOT THIS NICE OF A BUCK. |
