Had to move my stand after bow season so my husband had a spot picked out an realized there was another hunter 100 yards from me so he told me go find a spot with good sign to put my stand in since where he wanted to go there was already a stand set up where we were going to go so i went looking for a good spot and I found a good spot with a rubline and lots of tracks with a swamp on my right which is where we were going to go originally and field I front of me and bedding on my left I found a spot I believed was going to be good fresh tracks and rubs on rubline so we set my stand 2 days ago and I sat it last night in the cold snow rain mix …. so I could mark my way in and out for opening morning I did not see anything last night so I was not sure what was roaming in the area so I went in blind sided not knowing what was near but I had a good feeling about this spot so I decided to go there this am and it paid off I had a button buck at 15 yards from my stand on my right and then less than 10 minutes later I saw him working his way towards me near that rubline he came in at 50 yards and I shot him with my brand new 450 bushmaster short barrel muddy girl pink camo addition I thought he was a 7 or 8 point and I knew he was big enough for my restricted tag so I let my gun rip and do the work it was intended for we found good blood about 30-40 yards from where I shot him but then it trickled of and was just a spot here and there but we did not give up and we found him and when we walked up I was surprised to find my state land 10 pt
