Story: I was hunting with my brother-in-law Kevin Gibbs. We had agreed that if I saw a deer, I’d shoot it and if he saw it, he would shoot it. That plan didn’t work very well for him. Christmas Eve, Full Moon, Cold and so quiet you could hear a gnat from a 100 yards. At day break Kevin said, DEER!! DEER!! The Buck locked up at the sound of his voice. He didn’t move for several minutes. Kevin couldn’t get a shot because I was between him and the buck, so he told me to shoot him. I asked twice if he was sure and he said yes, just shoot it. I shot him straight on in the brisket at 145 yards. He ran about 35 yards behind one of the twenty trees in the 15 acre field. I told Kevin, I think he’s a really nice buck. He did get as good of a look at him as I did, so when we found him, he was really excited. It was the biggest deer he had ever seen and he let me shoot it. I owe this buck to him. | |
