Rattle rattle boom,forkie down

[rasbo]

first things first,,a huge thank you,to woodman and Bruce for taking this guy outta of a walk in area,you two are the greatest.. one phone call and they were there faster than the police,,I owe you two big time..
  The morning started out great saw two nice bucks driving in,,did a little hunting with no results in one area..So went to another walk in and debated if I wanted to make the hike in to my dark spot..I was hurting already but did it..
 I reached the area and moved in to an area where the wind was right,This area is very dark and thick.I worked my way to a trail I wanted to sit and rattle on.I sat down and noticed some nice size fresh tracks...Change of plans,I decided to follow the tracks and rattle as I still hunted..After several tries I kept on moving ,I rattled twice a little farther down the trail,and heard a snap ahead of me.I thought perhaps I pushed him out ahead of me...Then all of a sudden at 10 or 12 feet there he was coming head on to my left.. I put my wife's 243 on the throat and dumped it,then put another in the head to speed up the process.
 I was very excited at the size of this old forkie..He had a crease on his left side where somebody grazed him.I'm thinking in the early season by the wound..
 Ive been having doubts about hunting because of the pain,but with friends like Joe and Bruce its great to know I have help..Again thanks Guys...This was an awesome day,It will be remembered forever....
