I wasn't originally sitting in this treestand. I had a spot on the ground tucked in a thicket when I was pushed out by two additional hunters from our family coming into the vicinity. Decided to leave, settled in our treestand at 4:20pm, this buck came across the open field on his own, no doe at 5pm. Came to my left at 30yds and stopped. Raised my crossbow but then he looked right at me, I paused, then he entered the woods. Tracked him through my scope, came out in a clearing broadside at 42 yards between 2 trees and took the shot. Trail camera caught the shot. Hit him high with a spine shot. He laid down about 60yds away. Took another humane shot and he was done. First deer ever, first Buck. Heck of an 8pt!
