As bad as I hate to I must say thanks to my mother in-law for driving an hour to watch the boys so I could take my wife out on the coveted opening day of gun season. She is fresh off a miss with her crossbows an 8 pt . She was bummed but ready to go try again. Shortly after sun up I seen a deer running down a fence row that intersects with the one we are on. She is ready crossbow in hand, well he come by fast and coming down wind I trade out give her the gun and stop him but she couldn't get on him fast enough before he took off. Ok well there are more deer and plenty of time. About 45 min later, sh is watching one way me another (but I got caught cheating on this I was looking her way) and when I turn around her eyes are as big as plates and she is nodding her saying big buck ,buck,buck. And there he is less than 10 yds headed down wind grab my gun stop him and shot. I felt bad but he wasn't going to hang around long. We had a good time and back at this evening for her another chance. sucks cause it would of been a great first buck for her.
9 pt 185 lbs.
