So maybe y'all remember my story I posted last weekend where I killed the hog on the way to the stand. Well today after school me and my dad decided to go hunting b/c the rut seems to be in full swing this week. So out of nowhere I decide to hunt the same field I hunted last weekend.

As I was walking to my stand, I was hoping there wasn't any deer in the field yet because it was already about 4:30. So I walk up that little hill and look to the right to where my shooting house is and spot some movement on the field about 30 yards from me, I look closer and see a buck standing there staring at me fixing to bust me. All I could see was his head and his neck. I decided before gun season started to start shooting everything in either the head or the neck to not waste as much meat, so I was perfectly fine. I raise my fun, flip the safety off aim dead center of his throat patch and squeeze the trigger. The buck immediately fell backwards and was dead.

I will send a picture to beadlescomb and maybe he could post it for me.

We scored the buck at the skinning shed and he had a 17 1/2" inside spread and both of his main beams were around 20" long. The buck was definitely in full rut, he had a huge neck and smelled terrible! Time to hit the woods boys!
