8-point buck showed up within seconds
Dallas Johnson of Salley, SC killed an 8-point buck in what could be the quickest deer hunt in history. He shot the deer in Aiken County after being in the stand for less than 20 seconds.
The buck had been a trail cam visitor for Johnson, and he had spotted the deer in the flesh once during the 2023 season.
Johnson shot the buck from 15 yards away with a .308 from an elevated stand at about 7:10 p.m. The deer dropped in its tracks.
“I had just sat down, was about to turn my Thermacell on, when I heard running to the right of me,” he said.
He’d been running late, so he was pleasantly surprised to see things developing so quickly.
“I looked and saw this buck trot and stop in the only open area for a shot in the woods. I didn’t hesitate, realizing it was the buck I was after, and dropped him. All in less than 20 seconds. Couldn’t be happier!” said Johnson.
