Default 09 WT buck

Friday morning my hunt started as planed watched a cut line saw several does however all before legal light. After sunrise I decided it was time to sneak into the bush and sit in my tree stand for a few hours when an owl landed near me. I was moving toward it and got with in a few feet of its perch and under my breath I said “hey have you seen any bucks around” at that moment he got up and flew away, so I followed it was a little detour form my planed rout but why not. Then I saw a doe so I stopped a fawn fallowed as I scanned the bush off to the side was a buck not huge antlers but a good sized body on him at that moment decided he was a shooter, found a good shooting lane waited for him to move into it and I shot now my freezer is full for another year.
