So I get up at 2:30 from home, drive to my spot arrive at 6:40.  I decided to go after the big buck on Sat, so I arrive to a spot where I have killed three bucks all within a 100 yards radius over the last decade.  I get all my gear on and start walking down a old skidder trail! No crap 50 yds from the truck I see horns and butt running away like the wind! Dang, here we go again!!! Only this time I had a pretty good idea where this buck was headed. I sprint 300 yds as fast as 250 lbs can go and get to a old clearcut with a rock outcropping! I throw off my pack and set up prone hoping this buck comes this way!!! I look over everything and after a few minutes Im tbinking the buck went another route. Then around 100 yds away just at the edge of the timber I see a rack. 

Put the scope on him and see he his big bodiedand has 3 points to boot!! Booooomm! The .300 rum reported!! Deer is dead as ever! Hike down over a creek and up the hill and there he lays!!! Gut him and then proceed to carry him over the creek, not drag, CARRY. Damn that was fun let me tell you!!! Got him up to the skidder and went and got the truck.

It all happened so fast it was unreal just like opening morning!!!

The big buck lives on. Oh well I know whee he lives and will chase him next fall..

Thanks to my buddies for blowing up my phone for two hours wanting pics!!! I could of used your packing skills!! Ha ha
