I was just about to walk up to my deer blind when I saw a deer standing on the other side of it. I waited quietly to see what it was when it lifted its head and it was a buck. I wasn’t sure how big because I only saw a couple points. I sneaked my way around to a different area on the opposite side of the blind to get a better look. I peaked my head around and saw it was the buck I had been waiting for…a 9 point. I quietly knelt down on my knee and rested my cross bow on my other knee, covered my face so he couldn’t tell that I was a human… I waited for him to walk to the left to give me a shot. And surprisingly, he took two steps and stared me in the eyes and froze. He gave me the PERFECT SHOT… I took it and it was a perfect clean shot to the heart. Another incredible hunt, and experience. I didn’t even make it to the blind!! Unreal!
