I shot an 8 pointer, dressed just over 200lbs sat. night near crivitz. I had a 3 pt under me, a 4 pt 10 yards behind me, and I shot this guy at 5 yards. The damn shot was longer from my stand to the ground than from my tree out, lol. It's about damn time. I've been bowhunting for about 13 years passionately and this is only my second buck....but...to my credit, I've held a strict 8 pts or outside the ear rule on myself. I've passed up on a TON of 6's and 7's and even more forks. I always see at least 6-10 deer each time I go out, but they are normally the does or small bucks. All the mature bucks we get on camera are almost always after dark...and we got some monsters around. I have seen a few here and there but no shots.
The best part of all this, is not only was one of my stepsons up there to experience it, this weekend was the first time in 6 years of being with the wife, that she has come up with me. She was soooo happy to see me so happy. I was glad she got to see how passionate I am with something besides cars up close and personal. She even helped load it into the gator. The funny part is that she was supposed to come out to video for me, but didn't feel good(woman thing), if she would've come out, we would've sat in a different stand that we could both fit in. Weird how things work out...
