It was November 1st 2013 sitting in my stand where 3 days prior I seen the buck we call picket fence. It was a rather slow night and getting close to the end of shooting light when I turned around to see some deer behind me. When I grabbed the binoculars and looked I instantly knew what buck was standing behind. The only problem was he was with 3 does. So I grabbed my bleat call and hit it 3 times and to my surprise the big boy turned and started my way.

By this time I was already thinking about the shot and not looking at his antlers. The buck came out at 30 yards and stood perfectly broadside after taking his sweet time doing a scrape under some apples trees which made the buck fever even worse. My shot ended up being perfect the buck ran 75 yards and I got to here him crash.

Twenty days later during gun season I took a good 9 point out of the same stand also with my bow
