[QUOTE="Bowhunter, post: 3656279, member: 1601"] Well I finally got on the board Friday. Been trying to get my girl on him all season. Hasn’t been consistent until this week. We hunted him twice and got skunked each time. Well this week he was showing at the feeder in daylight for 3 days in a row. I took off work and she couldn’t get off. Not even a little bit early. So before the neighbors could get him I went after him. Wind was perfect on Thursday for my blind on the feeder. About 6pm I seen him about 80 yards out. For some reason he sensed me or something and went back in the woods. I thought for sure he’d be back since it was so early. Never seen anything else. So Friday I went and spread a bunch of corn and was gonna start watching the cameras for him again. I was sure I boogered him up or something. Before leaving the property I remembered I had an old tasco on a trail close to where I seen him. Luckily it was still working. Checked the card and he was in daylight every day that week on that trail. Actually had an old stand there so I went and replaced the ratchet straps on it and trimmed a few branches and decided to give it another try. I could see my feeder partially from this stand. Anout 6:45 I seen about 7 or 8 does headed to the feeder. Then about 7pm a young 8 comes down the trail I was sitting on. Then a minute later a little fork horn comes. I was ready now, just knew he was gonna come. Sure enough about 3 minutes later he came down the trail. It happened fast, I had a small window to get him in. Quartering away shot with 100 grain 3 blade Nap mechanical (love em). He mule kicked and ran 20 yards where he head butted a cedar and piled up. By the time we took pictures I was covered in blood. So did some in black and white. Figuring high 140s but haven’t taped him yet. Stress relief to get one down this early in the season. [/QUOTE]
