Sat in pop up blind first thing in morning, until snow melted on tree above me and collapsed the roof in on me at 8:30, made bunch of noise so I decided to move to my back stand in an old clear cut. After being there 20 minutes 4 doe came behind me , 10 minutes after them I seen movement in front of me. Seen 3 deer , one chasing. Could only see a little antler. Got clear shot at buck. Fired , ran off. Then right in front of me this big boy ran out. I thought I just messed up and shot the little 6 point we been seeing and , thinking when I shot that the big boy was back in bushes. Little did I know once I started blood trailing deer , it went right in front of my stand where the big guy ran ,it was then that I realized I just shot a very nice buck. Ruff age on deer was 6 years old
