Been a long road to rake an animal like this. Patience, patience, and more patience. So, it has been along year. Selling house and buying hit on 11/18 so I missed the first rut in Tn. I called the wife wednesday and said I was thinking of taking of Thursday and Friday and hunting sat too. She knows it has been rough and was very accomodating. So, I get to the new club, with no stand check in and have someone in the samemhollow, less than 400 yds away shoot 3 tines right after daylight. Since that has already happened 3-4 tunes to me since muzzleloader, I almost came home. I had noticed that I haven't heard any shots coming from the middle of the property which consist of 2 very very very deep and steep hollows that were cut last year and planted with pines. I decided to spend my remainder there. After shooting a 2.5 yr old on a split second decision Thursday at lunch on the way to stand, I knew I had to be picky. A few encounters later brings us to this morning. I had decided since it was the perverbial last hunt, I would go to a spot I was saving for a e/see wind that I had not pressured or hunted. It is a small hollow with no trees bug enough room climb. Out comes the millenia tree seat. Got in at 445am and took a little nap waiting on daylight. When the sun got up, I found myself sitting on the edge of a 70 yd wide hollow surrounded by 4' tall cutover. I heard something moving around at the head of the hollow but washed it as squirrels. I thought, I'm going to take this branch and rub it on the tree next to me to see if I can make something happen. Within 5 seconds I heard a deer running at me. He stopped and was stomping at me, then blew twice. I blew back and it was on, here he came. The brute stepped out at 40 yds, but I never saw his rack, just his body. After 1 shot, he ran across the hole and stopped. I put one more in th base of his neck and done. God blessed me today. Got to give him the props. ![[Linked Image]](http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu203/wilsontc81/Mobile%20Uploads/20151205_071751_zpspipwxpdy.jpg)

Huge buck. Alabama or out of state? Give us the story.
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands:
“The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

Congrats Todd on a great buck!!
"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
Comes to us at midnight very clean.
It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
