I had been sick all weekend, and when my dad woke me up Sunday morning I decided I was going to sleep in. But about 5 minutes later, I knew I just HAD to be in the woods so I got up. I saw a little 4 pt at 8:15, but he wasn’t nearly big enough to shoot. At 9:15 I saw two deer running on a hillside about 150 yards away, so I decided grunting but had no luck. 15 minutes later I did a little rattling sequence with my rattlin bag. Right when I set it down I heard a deer coming my way. When he got about 100 yards away from my I saw him and got him in my scope. The first thing I noticed is that he had a kicker coming off his g2 and I decided he was a shooter. He was walking straight at me so he didn’t offer a shot. When he was 50 yards away I turned my safety off, but he heard that and stopped. Luckily about 5 seconds later he started coming towards me againThen he started turning broadside at about 15 yards away and I saw that he had 6 pts on one side, and that’s when I knew he was huge. Once he got to my opening at 10 yards I pulled the trigger and he started stumbling away so I shot again and he dropped. I hunt in Buffalo County WI and was using my .243. He is a 6×5 with a kicker on his g2 so he has 12 scorable points. My uncle green scored him at 162 4/8 gross and 150 net.
RATS.
