So tonight marks the night I got my biggest buck. My grandpa picked me and jake up from school and we went to his house and got ready. as we pulled to the feild that my grandpa was going to hunt over I looka across the feild and there stood a buck, we wernt sure how big he was but knew that he was a big buck. when I spotted him we happend to be by some hay bailes and so we pulled the 4 wheeler behind it to get a look at him but he ran off before we got a chance to. So we dropped him off and headed to our spot. when we were pulling up the hill I spooted a doe running right twards us but she wipped around and ran off. So I pulled up a little farther and we headed to the shooting shack. It wasnt much more than 5 minutes when I looked down the woods line and there stood a big 10 pointer about 240 yards off. He was way to far for a shotgun shot and so I videod him for a wile and then he started heading our way. When he was about 180 yards away he started to walk down into the swail and I realized I had to take a shot. but when I got my gun up he turned and so he was facing away from me. after about 5 minutes he turned broadside but stated walking into the swail farther and my time was running out. I told jake I was gonna shoot when he stops. As if it was planned he stopped and I aimed and shot. he ran about 5 yards away and went broadside again. so I pump the shotgun and fire. he jumped and ran right twards us. I wasnt sure if I shot him and we ran out the door of the shooting shack in case he went out the side or came right to us. I waited for a big then saw the top of his rack over the hill in the swail but he wouldent move. then his rack dissapeared and I thought he went down. so I slowly walked twards him when I saw his rack standing up. he was looking the other direction but all I could see was the top of his back. so I slowly kept comming in and when I had a shot I took it and he went down without further delay. He kicked around a little but was done after a couple minutes. I was pumped and jake was just as happy I got him. He is a 10 pointer with his left g2 and g4 broken but they still count. He has a split brow tine and a 15 inch spread. I quickly scored him and came up with about 113 1/8 B&C. the reason he scored so low is becasue he had a lot of deductions. but he still has the biggest general antler size. pictures to come soon. I am so pumped.
