25 years ago I was easing slowly thru a big HW bottom in Sumter county on our 6,000 acre lease. I walked up on a VERY recently made scrape. I slowed my pace a lot. 50-75 yards later I found an even newer, big scrape. I froze and glassed the area. 75 yards ahead of me in open hardwoods I saw and heard the big 8 point making scrape #3, licking branch gland rub.....the whole 9 yards. The wind was in my favor. I shot from a kneeling position in the 2nd scrape. He only ran 30 yards. It was about 10 AM. I have harvested a lot of deer in my 73 years, but that particular experience is one of my most memorable and exciting ever.
