I just recently joined (http://www.bowhuntingohio.com/forum/showthread.php/18247-New-guy-from-Central-OH)to share a recent hunt.
This past Sunday the 21st was my birthday and I received a great present...my first buck! The weekend's weather conditions were fairly windy but on Sunday morning everything calmed down. I had a feeling something was going to happen. My hunting buddy has seen this buck a few times in the field and also on his camera. Sunday was the first time I spotted him out in a soybean field that was still standing. One grunt got him to turn in my general direction and a 2nd grunt got him to walk to a game trail I was hunting on the field edge. We had an intense stare down with him facing me while I was at full draw. It seemed like an eternity. Finally he turned (I'm assuming to run) and I let it fly. The rest is history. He's got 2 short brow tines that are hard to see in the picture so I think he's considered an 8 pt. I'm not up to speed on the scoring technicalities and not sure I care. He's an awesome first buck and a trophy to me. What a gift!
