    I had a small six pointer walk up behind me two years ago. He was dead-down wind and behind a clump of trees and rocks. I didn’t dare turn around and I hoped he would loop around me to my left. Nope, he winded me and started to snort and stomp on the ground. So I stood up, threw the Ruger up to my shoulder, and hit him in mid air as he jumped between two Spruce trees. Not my biggest buck, and it was only 25 yards away. But I’ll never make another rifle shot as good as that one again! On top of everything else it was on my birthday.

    I was 17 and hunting up by Park Falls. Some guys across the cranberry bog were making a drive and suddenly a buck and four does broke across this huge clearcut I was watching…It was really far but I threw up the Remington 700, swung just ahead of the running buck and kind went into auto pilot….touched off the 30/06 and the buck miraculously tumbled.
    I got my first decent 8 point through the heart at over 200yds on the run. Sometimes it better to be lucky than good!
