I was up Sick last night till 1:45am, and slept in till 5:30am.
I got into one of my state land spots and was setup 25 feet high in my stand at 7:30am. When the wind died down for a few minutes, i gave out a few grunts.Within 15 min I heard a twig snap and looked down to see a good buck at 20 yards and closing in fast. I took him on the point of the shoulder, taking out one lung and the top of his heart. He only made it about 60yds and piled up.What a great day to be in the woods. Wet,overcast and raining lightly, perfect!
One of my better shotgun bucks, I have been hunting hard this last week and was only seeing little bucks and a lot of does.

So far it's been another great season!
