I sat in my blind the morning of the opener kicking myself for not getting out a bit earlier. I then saw some movement on the hill in front of me and spotted this trophy walking from left to right. I had a small window when he stepped out in an open area to try and get the shot off. Fortunately it hit the mark and was probably a 100 yard shot. He ran about 100 yards up a hill before crashing. Extremely fortunate to have gotten this basket 10. This was the one and only deer I saw in my couple days of hunting but it’s certainly a trophy to me. Unofficial score at the Little River Casino Buck Pole was 148.
