As some on here know that I take time in the week to hunt state land, As last year I shoot a 10 after walking in and siting for less then a hour, At the 40 aces this year there a 10 runing around but I did not see him but on the camera, So like year before I hit state land in mid week, Well back in 2005 I shoot a 11 point and I had not been back there for 7 year's So like most morning up before sun think of coming up so I hit the road, As I would hit that state land, Well I got there at 630am and no one was there, I walk in to the same spot as I did 7 year's back Found three tree that was blow over and sit, Well a hour later I heard something behind me so I turn my head and there he was, He stop as I turn to shoot but all I could see was his chest, Because of down tree I took the shoot and deer all over He turn and run, As a doe and fawn when down the hill I thou that funny the doe look like it was hit, as the buck did not,   So I sit for 20 min   I was hope I hit him, I could Not stand it no longer So I got up and walk to the spot that he was standing, Yes blood   I took two steps and Now there was two trail of blood    so I thou I would look for him and I walk the blood trail and on and on think he got to be just around the next down tree but it was going far back, I had no problem with seeing the blood well a mile in and a mile a 1/2 from the truck, I hit the swamp at the end of the woods, I stop and made a call for   and took 5 min. So I cross in to the swamp in a real small patch of woods them I could see a other small patch of swamp with other patch of woods so I started to the swamp and there he was lading down but still a live,   I stood  here as he turned this head (thou)  no way are you going any far and put one more in him, as my   was on the way, Now it 9:15 I clean him out, back to the truck , well   bet me to the truck as it was about 10:00 so we when back to see what that other blood tail was from, well the doe was found dead, One shoot and two deer dead well by the time we got the buck out it was 2:30 and back for the doe it was now 3:30  form 8:00 to 3:30 and my back kill me now, Well I stop at the spot shop and had him weight 243 1/2 pond's  No wonder it took a long time to get him out   The guy I the spot shop show me his 8 point that weight 160 and it look small to mine he say his was 2 1/2 old then he look at mine said it was 5 1/2 year old  now the buck was a 9 point but it was big and the 11 point i shoot there 7 year's back was this grand daddy   G 3 are 10 1/2 long  The fist   is the 11 point and the 9 I got today.
