I have been hunting the Crow Foot Stand for the past few hunts. I knew the stand was in a very good spot, but I have not been seeing many deer. All I have seen from the stand was a spike, and twin fawns in 6 hunts, some of these hunts were pretty long. This afternoon I was in the stand situated for 2:30 pm. Around 3:15pm I heard a deer walking in the water. I figured it to be another young one but I picked up my gun to have a look at it through the scope. It happened to be in an area where I could not see it and it just stayed there for a while. Then I heard it walking again but it didn't come out. I looked up the creek and he turned around. HE wasn't alarmed in the slightest but just started walking back up the creek. I found a hole and shot. I could tell it was hit but it kept running out of sight. My brother Eddie volunteered to come help look. Thank God he did because there was very little blood. I had hit him behind the last rib and taken out his right lungs but the bullet did not exit.
We found the deer went for my buggy and then had to drag him about 70 yards because of a deep hole in the creek. Then we couldn't get him loaded. These two old men were already exhausted but we rigged up a way to get him in the bed.
Not a very big set of antlers but he weighed 215 lbs. 16" inside spread and decent mass. I believe he is 5.5 or 6.5 years old as I thought he was a year younger last year when I had a lot of pictures of him.
