Headed into my stand just after day light on the second day of the season after I got rained on the first day and decided to pack it up. As soon as I got my climber in to position I heard what I thought was my buck I had got on cam just a week earlier in the swamp just a head of me but I cannot see the swamp.I sat there patiently waiting for him to appear, after 20 minutes of swimming and splashing around or whatever these creatures do he walks in front of my camera for one last photo shoot. He walks halfway towards me but I still have no shot or at least I am not willing to take one just yet. This goes on for what seemed like forever and then I spot his buddy which is a bigger buck but with a abnormal rack and I had already decided I was out for the seven. He presented a perfect broadside shot at 25 yards, I hit him just a little high from the tree stand but I must have hit him right in the artery as there was a great blood trail from the rage BY. he ran for about 150 yards before he piled up. It took me 5 hours from the time I let the arrow rip until I had him out of the woods, not a drag I will ever look forward to do again by myself but he sure tasted good when me and my buddies processed the meat. Good luck out there guys.
I been lurking since I started hunting last year.
