Had this buck at 15 yards the week prior, but went to pull my bow back and the doe he came in with spotted me and spooked the buck. One week later I go hunt the morning in gun season. Sitting in one stand and see a group of does with a smaller buck cross a field, get down and move stands closer to where the crossed. About 40 minutes later a doe comes in and stops and looks back. About a minute or two later I see him at the woods line and know it’s the same buck. He came in and gave me a 40 yard shot. Didn’t go 5 feet before he stopped and tipped over. Biggest buck to date
