Evening

We had had been hunting earlier in the week and decided to pass on this deer. Feeling regret for passing we decided to try at him again. There were multiple does in the bean field and a couple smaller bucks. We noticed that they all were looking back behind us so it began to get our curiosity up. After a few minutes he finally emerged from behind us and made his way by us. We watched the deer for probably 20 minutes. I finally got a pretty good look at his horns and decided they were just outside his ears. I asked my so. If he had a good shot on the deer and he said YEAH. Before I got go ahead and take the shot out of my mouth he pulled the trigger. The rest is history!
