This was my first sit of the season due to the heat. I was impatiently waiting on a cold front to come in. Bucks finally started to show up on camera and the weather finally cooled down so I gave it a shot. First sit of the season and I had deer all the way around me all evening. At 10 to 7 he walked in like clockwork and at 7 I let it rip. He ran about 70ish yards and I heard him go down. First buck to put on the wall. All the patients and hard preparation paid off.
