    Did something this evening that I have not done in 7years and 12 days

    It has been that long since I killed a deer on my property in Smith county. October 26, 2011 is when I killed the buck in my avatar


    It was lightning when I got up this morning at 4:20 so I let the dogs out and put on a pot of coffee

    Checked the radar and sure enough there was rain coming, so I waited it out. It was 7 before it let up
    I normally bow hunt at the house but this morning I decided to take my old 270 since I was going to be sneaking into my stand after light
    I saw 7 does/fawns

    When I headed out this evening it looked like it might rain so I took the gun again.

    Slew, Charlie6delta and I have an ongoing text message. Telling each other what we are doing, usually while the other 2 are stuck working.
    I joked that the buck I was after would probably come out within bow range since I had the rifle

    A little after 4 I spotted a deer crossing the field in front of me. It was a buck and it stopped behind a bunch of brush and I could see it was working a scrape under a cedar where I had seen another buck this past weekend

    When he stepped out I knew it was the buck I had been after
    And then he turned and trotted straight at me and when he stopped he was 22yds straight down wind and acted like he had no clue I was sitting in a tree right above him

    I’m sure some would have let him go another year but he is mature, I’ve had pictures of him off and on for at least 3 years. I will post pics of his teeth when I get him cleaned up

    Man, if you haven’t killed a deer on your land in 7 years, don’t listen to any of the give him another year naysayers! Your land, your decision, you did the right thing! Congrats to you sir.

                        No but I still have the ones I am wearing in my avatar and they are still in good shape

                        14 7/8 inside in case anyone was wondering

                        Mad at the pigs so I still have lots of hunting to do
