I killed this decent 8 pt this morning. I was walking to the stand early this morning and was almost at my stand, and i jumped a armadillo and it startled me. All of a sudden i heard something walking around the area in front of my stand, so i shined my flashlight that way- to my surprise i was about 10 yds fron this buck! He was looking my way as he slipped off through the swamp. I got up in my stand quietly and i heard him walk a circle and come back. I had to sit there quietly for 30 minutes before it started to break daylight and he fed around all around my stand. It broke day enough i could make out his outline, and i knew at any moment he was going to dissapear in the swamp. I let 5 more minutes go by until legal shooting hours and he stood broadside at 10 yds and i could see he was legal so i got ready. I came to full draw and let him have it. He dropped like a ton of bricks, i hit him a little high because of the angle out of the 20 ft ladder. I am having a good year so far, i only hope it last through dog season. I cleaned him quickly and loaded up the dogs and went and ran them because our dog training season started 2 weeks ago.
The other pics are some of a deer crossing, a buck that stopped running long enough to get the camera out of the window 3 weeks ago, and along the gulf coastline that borders our hunting club and a public management area.
