ok here goes

I swathed until 5 :15 last night and decided that I needed a break so I told the Fiance that I was going hunting, she said ok( not sure what she wants now.......lol)

I got to my blind at 6ish sat there and waited until about 6:55 until i heard something moving in the bush. I kept hearing things coming through the bush but it was coming from the wrong side of my ground blind. Finally at 7 I peeked out of the blind and seen him coming towards me at 12 yards. The trail he was on comes with in 10 feet of my blind. Well i almost had a heart attack waiting for him to come past, he came with in 10 feet of me and as i tried to draw he bolted about 30 yards and stood there looking back at me. I sat still and waited for about 5 minutes before he decided to try to come back past me but further out. He was about 40 yards from me and angleing back towards me again, this time I came to full draw earlier. Unfort he must have heard or caught movement and held up at 40 yards for 3-4 minutes while I was at full draw. Finally he decided everything was ok and came walking past me at 23 yards I put my pin on him and squeezed the release off and got a double lung hit and the rest is history He has 9 points on the right antler and 5 on the left
