I went out on last monday morning 10-29-12. Sat in the same stand that I shot my big 8 out of last year to basically do some scouting for the week and to see how the rut was comin along in this woods since I hadnt been in there at all this year. Right away at first light I seen 2 does and 2 fawns messing around in the swamp. I watched the one doe kick her button buck out and he ended up walking right under me and went into the thick brush behind me. About two minutes later I hear a deer walking from that way back toward me. I just assumed it was that fawn, untill I hear him grunt. I immediatly grabbed my bow and as i did i looked back and seen rack coming through. I turned and by this time he was already under me. I had one open spot under me so i drew. The buck took a few more steps and got into my lane. I completely over bleated him to stop and he trotted back to about 9 yrds. I took aim shot and my arrow, after hitting a branch that i didnt see by my hand, sailed 2 ft over his back. In disbelief I quickly went for another arrow. The buck stopped out at 25yrds and looked back. I was able to get to full draw again with him lookin right at me, so i took aim and shot again. This time the arrow found its mark and the buck made it 70yrds and piled up. The rut is an amazing thing! No way would I have gotten away with that early season. One screw up and he woulda been gone for good!,full-2453-26282-10pt.jpg
