SELF SCORE: 120″
Rappahannock County, VA

Fam had seen this buck two days in a row in the same area. I took off work early to go hunt him and setup where I thought he might be coming out. I had a decent 8pt and 4 does come bu me and then 45 minutes before dark teo does came in down wind and smelled me and blew a few times. It was quiet at that point so i thought my hunt was over. I decided to rattle just to try and make something happen. 10 minutes later (with only 5-10 minutes of shooting light) i saw a dark body walk across a login road where the does had come from. He stepped back into the road and I saw it was him. I didnt think he would cover the 100 yards to me in time but then he just made a B line right for me. I only had one tree to draw behind at 45 yards so I drew, he kept making his way straight at me so i held for about a minute when finally he walked left at 25 yards…but then spotted me so I let it fly. He only made it about 75 yards and liled over.
