I had 6 does fly past my blind, quickly followed by 2 more. Ones face was covered in sweat/foam from running, her tongue was hanging out. I knew they weren’t going to be alone so I set the barrel of my rifle on the window sill and stayed alert! Just minutes later this buck came after them, only stopping when I shouted a “Hail Mary” MEH! When I pulled the trigger he was at about 125yds, and dropped like a stone! He has 5pts on his left beam and his right beam has 3pts The browtine is actually incorporated into his main beam. He also has 4 or 5 sticker points on the back of his left antler but none over an inch long so they were uncounted in his tagging total. What a beautiful ending to a great first day of rifle, now its time for some doe patrol. The trail cam photo was him on the hoof earlier in the day. He was 180lbs hanging weight.
