Opening day buck

Well, after not killing a buck last year, the Lord sent a dandy my way opening morning. I was sitting on the top of a ridge littered with white oaks. I hung a climber there in bow season and saw some does and pigs. When I hung the stand,I saw pigs there and shot one,and when I hunted it,i saw pigs there and shot 2 more. It's one of the few places I have a stand that I dont have a camera. I honestly expected to see pigs again opening morning,and go to town on them with a rifle. After seeing a few does and a spike opening morning,I got to watch a yote chase a rabbit around in a thicket. That was really cool. He never caught the rabbit either while I was watching. About 20 minutes after the yote left, this guy showed up walking the ridge coming directly to me. One look at the rack,and I knew I was going to try and take him. I shot him at about 60 yards,but I think he wouldve walked right under me if I'd let him. He's the widest racked buck I've ever killed and I'm tickeled with him. Had a ton of family up at camp with us,so we included everyone in getting him out of the woods. Thankyou Lord!!

Nice one!

That was from the shot on the ground when I walked up to him laying down. .308 was the caliber.
