The Piebald is Down!!!!

Ok guys here's the story. Yesterday I had planned to get up early this morning and go hunting at our apple orchard down the road from our house. That plan didn't work out because I overslept, and didn't get out of bed until 5:30. I didn't get to my parents house where all my camo is until 6:00. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it to the stand I wanted to hunt because it was about to break light and the deer were probably too close to the stand. I decided I would wait until first light and sneak behind the house through the peach orchard to another stand. I make my way through the peach orchard really slow checking each row for deer. I'm about half way through the orchard when I see something white two rows ahead. I shoulder my gun and see its the piebald, and I don't have a shot at 50 yards. At this point all you can see is the top part of his back. I belly crawl about twenty feet and set my shooting sticks up, get my gun ready and pick a spot then BOOM! I see him spin around and I thought he ran away. Everything happened so fast I just rolled over on my back trying to get my composure. When I went over to check for blood there he was. He fell in his tracks! Words simply can't explain the emotion that came over me. I have been obsessed with this deer since I caught him on camera last January. I just got back from the taxidermist and he's gonna do a standing full body mount for me. In all he had 11 scorable points, and two small G4's that are about 3/4 " long so I'm gonna call him a 13pt.

Thanks Guys

Congrats! :cool: Are you planning on doing something like a full body mount?

Dakota :)

Yes sir I'm going with a standing full body mount. The cost was a little bit of a shock to me, but I think it will be well worth it.

thats awesome! congrats! when i was looking at the first pic, for a second i thought his right front leg got shot off!

LOL I just noticed that too. The shot was on the money in the shoulder which kinda surprises me considering how bad I was shaking.
