This year was the year that I decided i was going to really hunt a lot during bow season and devote my time and put it in the stand. Well it really opened my eyes about the wilderness out there and how awesome God is and created this world how beautiful the world is and how much he has blessed us in several ways. This year I made it a goal to myself to help with my spiritual life to pray every time when I first get in the stand. On the night of November 23 I just had a diffrent feeling about this hunt. Right after I said my prayer I saw a small 5 pointer down the hill from me I got to watch him for over 2 hours which was sweet! After that it got calm! I love the last hour of hunting how quiet it is! Well it was then when this big boy came by my stand stood 15 yrds from me! I shot him I had no time to react because he came in so fast but man what a thrill! I challenge each and everyone who reads this post to say a prayer before you get in your stand or even when you are in your stand! It has been a great year of hunting for me and my buddy we strive every year to get bigger deer my buddy has killed a 13 pointer that scored 169 3/8 two years ago. But this was my biggest deer yet and very proud of him. May God bless you and good hunting hope to kill a doe here in the next few weeks to donate one. All of our hunting takes place in Hocking Co Ohio by the way.
