Well I can honestly say the past couple weeks have been very busy with the bith of a 3rd child and family in town, daughters birthday my birthday and are 8th anniversary. O and a trip to the er for stitches in my hand and duck opener. I had be not had a chance to get out yet until Monday night. That night I seen 20 bucks and 2 does. With that being said I knew I was headed out Tuesday. Well I got in the stand late at 5 o’clock had to bump 2 small bucks off the field on the way in. And right as I climbed up the action began from buck fights to coyotes to horses under my tree I seen it all. I quit counting deer at 17.
Close to 7 o’clock the deer seem to move to one side of the field. As a buddy texted me and said how many bucks. I said a lot but no shooters. He said I bet u will see a shooter tonight. And within 5 seconds I looked to the west and there he was a shooter as he turned his head I knew right away what deer it was. Gamechanger. The buck that has kept me up since early June. As he fed about 110 yards from me alls I could do is watch after awhile the herd of deer slowly started working my way and I meen slowly. And watching a booner is not the most calming thing. As he bumped does and small bucks the whole way he got to 43 yards not wanting to shoot him at that cause he was relaxed I let him keep feeding hoping he would come a little closer finally I was covered up in deer right under me and as I looked up Gamechanger walked 2 more steps closer and turned broadside as I ranged him again and this time he was at 40yards and I said I have to shoot. But with his leg being back it was blocking some good vitals as I waited he took a step and cleared them. As I drew the Matthews monster and settled the pin I let it fly. And not only as I shot he took a full step but ducked as well. So needless to say I did not hit my mark but as he ducked and turned my rage 2 blade chisel tip caught the back formortal artery and the blood started spraying like a paint can as he took off. Alls I could see was a lumanock glowing and blood spraying like crazy. Alls I could do was cry and make phone calls. After a few buddies came we gave him some time and started on the track witch was easy to follow.
He ran about 120 yards and was laying just in the edge of the woods. For those of you that know me this is the only deer I wanted and planned on being the only deer I was going to shoot. And God has blessed me with some amazing stuff this past week and topped it off with a 172inch beast we call Gamechanger. I will upload a bunch of pics later as we go back out this morning to take mor pics. But here is a few right now from last night.
Thanks Matt.
