Got a little nine point !
Today was the opening morning of our three day Christmas rifle hunt. I eased off down to my little wooded holler that splits the cattle fields. As I was sitting there just getting settled in I looked up to my left and on top of the holler I saw three or four deer just running back and forth. All I could see was movement and a whitetail once in awhile. About 15 minutes after that I hear them walking behind me on up the holler further. I stood up to see better and caught movement. I put the scope on one and saw horns for a second and then it was behind the trees and brush. I could tell they were moving toward what we call the hidden field. I started back up as quiet as i could to the corner of the field and watched and out came 4 doe single file, then a four point, six point and an eight point and then this one I took. There is a big twelve runningthe area and too much distance after this one stepped out to wait any longer so I went ahead and fired. It was about 100 yards off hand shot. He dropped about 40 yards in the field. Good heart shot and the best blood trail I ever saw, now that I didn't need one ha ha ha ! Now I am tagged out for this year, has been a good year for me and I am thankful. I am trying to resize so can post a picture......
