Hours upon hours, day after day since the start of bow I have been out there. Passed more small 6’s and 4’s than I can count. Last night it paid off. Watched a 4pt come in about 70 yards away and disappear into the thick. Just before the end of legal light I see him come back into view 50 yards away into the clearing but had this bigger guy behind him. Grabbed the bino’s and realized it was an 8pt. Scoped him and shot just in time. Was up and down for about 100ft till he fell. Biggest to date!!
