Work and kid school drop off prevented a daylight hunt. However Shawn made it to the stand by 9. This buck was dogging a doe hard through burned pine timber a 11am. The doe came running Rt to the stand and the buck ran up to chase her. Shawn stopped him at 30 yds with a good ole “MEH!!” 6.5 creedmoor smoked him and he made it just off the road about 30 more yards. Shawn is a bow hunter but he opted to rifle hunt this stand thinking he’d have a longer shot while bucks were cruising. Never thought his shot would be in bow range!!
