Well i went in super deep on a public spot last night. Got in really early and found what i thought to be buck beds tucked up against a ginormous blow down. Backed off 30 yards up the hill and got set up. At 4:00 i was completely set up and settled. At about 5:55 i remember thinking how good it felt with the wind coming off the river and how thankful i was just to be there. At that time i looked left and there was a big 10. Outside the ears, long tines, but not a whole lot of mass. Probably 120 inch deer.... a giant for the public piece i was on. I calmed myself down and took a 35 yard shot that i shouldn’t have taken trying to force an arrow through some brush. I knew if i didn’t take that shot he was gone, and with gun season opening here this weekend there’s no telling what will happen. Well of course it hit a limb and deflected 15 feet to the right and the deer was gone. I’m just thankful that i didn’t hit him in a bad spot and wound him. Maybe the rut will bring him back in close....
