Got in the woods around 5:30 and spooked a doe walking in and she squawked at me. I thought probably want see anything, then around 6:15-6:30 two does came in and I watched them for about 10-15 minutes then big brute came in ( 215lb ) and had his nose up in the air checking the does. He stayed about 20 yards away from the doe’s then walked out just for a perfect shot of around 60-70 yard and I laid him down with my Remington 30-6. Made a perfect shot in the shoulder area. He went about 20 yards and laid down and I just waited a while to make sure he was dead. Was pumped up most of the night and couldn’t go to sleep..
