46* this morning...high overcast....softened the glare a bit. Turkey's really tossed the leaves around. The floor looked like hundreds of piles placed haphazardly around. About 11 I couldn't stand it any more and did something about my floating eyeballs. A lil while later I heard something at my six. Stretched around and saw a buck...cautiously heading my way. Took him 15 min to close to 25yds at my 5. He musta smelled the watered bushes and froze...testing the wind....looked right at me....tested some more...decided to break right and head down hill fast. He musta then seen me complete my stand/turn he stopped...quartering away at 60 yds. The angle was still too much...I couldn't bring my rifle square...had to hold it off a bit...sight picture was only a 1/4" wide on the back of the scope...saw the cross hairs past the shoulder and up a bit....BOOM. he made 20yds straight down to the creek.
8pt dress at 160lbs. Felt a lot heavier when I was draggin it up outa the creek and up hill to the truck...must be gettin old or somethin.
