He came into the clearing at 7:20 PM, just 22 yards away, heading straight toward me. I was up in the tree stand and had to wait for him to turn and give me a good shot. At 7:23 PM, I was able to send one through both lungs.
I waited for my buddy to get out of the woods before we started tracking. He ran roughly 40 yards and dropped.
First deer of the season! Nothing better than a successful hunt and a quick, clean recovery. Blessed to have another season in the woods!
