I keep thinking I got this in 04 but it was in 2003 after looking at my pics. I saw him opening day in the late morning and two more times the following two days. I was walking back to where I had seen him previously just as the sun was coming up. I paused at a thick row of quakies? thinking how I didn't want to walk through all the leaves and make noise. He came running out in front me about 40 yds. away, watching me the whole time. I didn't even have a chance to think I just reacted, pulled up my gun and shot. Ya right, I missed-hit a tree?. Dumb luck he stopped in his tracks and looked right at me, done deal. My first bullet grazed his back, I think it stunned him. My buddies decided to leave the night before and I had to drag him through the brush all uphill. That I will never forget, I was so full of adrenaline for shooting this buck and could hardly drag him by myself. I can't wait to do it again. Results for this years hunt will be here soon! Oh and it was on public land.
