Our friend's buck was a similar story. Me and him were watching a long draw when a bunch of deer came running down it. Two of them were really nice bucks, but they came by just out of shooting range, so we moved down the draw a little ways to watch were they would go. After we watched them dissapear into the brush at the bottom of the draw I spotted another deer coming down the draw. We could tell instantly he was a legal buck and that he was going to come down the draw right across from us. We could also tell something wasn't right with his left antler. He came down the draw right across from me and stopped dead broadside to me at 100 yds, but right behind of a tree. I could see most of his body, but a branch was blocking the front half of him. I just needed him to take a couple more steps and he would clear the tree. He stood there staring at me for a couple minutes. I was frozen on one knee with my rifle on my shooting stick waiting for him to move. He finally took one step and his head and neck cleared the tree branch, but his vitals were still blcoked. I decided I would take a neck shot on him since he was only 100 yards away and I knew I could easily make that shot. But to be sure I wanted to take a sitting shot, so I slowly moved from one knee to a sitting position and right when I was getting my crosshairs on him he spun around and trotted down the draw to where our friend was sitting and gave him a nice broadside shot which he took easily. This buck has some serious character.
