Cora Deller of AuGres with her 8point! I got engaged the day before this big guy walked into our pile. My fiancé and I had been out about two hours so far, and it was the first time I was able to hunt this season. He hadn’t been on any of our trail cameras, and nobody had seen him before. He chased off some does, I was afraid he would chase after them. Instead he turned back towards my feed and started picking on some carrots. He finally stood broadside to me, but was guarding his vitals with his front leg. Finally, he couldn’t reach any more feed without stepping forward. I took a breath in, asked my fiancé if he was ready to video, and shot. I used my Lady Whitetail crossbow, and the shot was true. He only ran 40 yards and piled up still in sight of my blind. Talk about an amazing engagement gift. I am very blessed
