ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: After killing the 10 point on Monday and taking 6.5 to 7 hours to get him out to the vehicle, I decided to take Tues off as I was to cheap to buy and extra gun stamp as it was $ 22 before season started and it is too late after season opens. I still had an extra bow stamp, so I decided to go bow hunting yesterday and sit in my climbing stand all day and just enjoy the day and the beautiful day as the weather was nice as I knew I would likely not even see a deer. After a 2.5 hour bike and hike straight up the side of the mountain yesterday morning, I was finally able to get in my stand about 7:30. About 8:45 a doe came by and around 10, I decided to rattle and then about 10 minutes later grunted a couple of times. After waiting a few minutes and not seeing anything, I pulled out 1 of my 2 new Field and Stream magazines and turned 3 pages and heard something behind me coming and it was a doe. I stood up and then I saw HIM. I got ready as he was coming nearly straight at me and would pass within 5 yards broadside of my tree. The only problem was that the doe by this time was straight up the hill behind me and eye level with me and nearly straight down wind even though I was 30 feet in the air. The buck was 20 yards away facing me and slightly quartering. I shot him in the right front shoulder and he ran down the hill and stopped about 20 yards farther away. He stood and walked around and for about 10 minuters and started to walk away and then turned and came back as the doe appeared to be very hot. He was hurting bad and bleeding good, and I managed to stick a 2nd arrow in his right side and he tore out of there and went down the hillside in front of me and it is almost a 100% grade and after traveling about 40 yards on it, he then went end over end and tumbled another 150 yards before he stopped dead. It was by far the biggest buck I had ever seen in the wild in my life and he was a massive 10 point with almost a 20" spready and high points and very good mass. He appeared to be an extremely old deer, possibly 8.5 years old. May be the buck of a lifetime for me, especially with a bow. I gross scored him today and he scored 136 & 2/8.

I would post pictures off all 3 of the bucks I killed this fall on here if someone would tell me how to get them to show up?? ops: ops: ops:
