I shot this 10 point buck on December 5, 2004 in Williamson County, Illinois on a private lease. My husband, my brother-in-law and I were on the second shotgun/muzzleloader hunt when this big guy came by my stand trailing a doe and spike. He was grunting with every step and was not interested in stopping for my grunt at all! He finally gave me a shot at 85 yards when he stopped to figure out which way the doe had gone. My TC .45 caliber Encore dropped him in his tracks. About five minutes later a nice 8-pointer following the same trail made a scrape at my deer's feet as if to say, "Who's the big guy now?" It was a very interesting thing to witness. I have had a stellar deer season, harvesting 4 bucks in three different states! My husband got me into deer hunting about 5 years ago, and I must admit, the bug has bitten me! I just can't wait until next September!!
