LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-02 AT 11:07AM (MST)[p]Well the story goes...........When we arrived some hunters were leaving, they had all shot nice bucks. They said that the rut was just starting to kick in, get ready for the big boys. Well the day the hunt started a major heat wave came in. Hottest it had been that time of year for 30 years, shocker. Anyway the rut came to a crawl. The third morning of the hunt this buck was tending a doe. He came within 10yrds the first time but offered no shot. Half hour later he came back by, 50 yrds, no shot again. About 45 mins later the doe came back by my blind with him behind her. He feed 5-7 yrds away, no shot. The doe moved away, he followed her, that was his mistake. I made a clean heart and lung shot at 11yrds, he went about 30 more yards and crashed.
