Jordan's 10 Pointer
Jordan sent in this hunting story.
Well, it was a cool, foggy morning in the great state of Alabama. Where i hunt is not a hunting club or nothing like that, it is simply out my back door on the 600 acres we own. I got in my ole Jeep Wrangles YJ and drove down the raod a little piece to come in on the backside of our farm to my stand. I got to my stand about 5:45 am and it was still pretty dark and there was a nice thick fog in the, about .5 acre, field i was hunting. Around 5:55 am i seen a nice figure of a buck about 60 yards to my right. It was in the fog and not really light enough to make a safe shot, so gritting my teeth i let him walk. Not even ten mitutes later i seen a nice buck coming me in a steady trot. I put him in my cross arrows and stomped my foot to get him to stop. He was right at about 35 yards when i pulled the trigger. He fell down and shot towards the woods... about 20 yards from the spot i found him. He was a 10 point, nothing impressive. Nice brow tines and G1's. He must have had some competition because his G2's had been broken off to about 1.5 inches, and about a 15 inch spred. Nothing impressive, but i was proud of it. When i weighed him before dressing him, right at a 200 pounder.
