The One That Almost Got Away

We had just loaded up Lester's huge 8 point monster buck and returned home sometime late morning.

Leaving the buck in the back of the truck, we headed inside to grab some coffee and brag to my Mom about the big buck she was gonna get to help us cut up later. ;)

Of course Mom wanted to see this big buck we were bragging about so she headed outside. Immediately, she comes back in and asks incredulously... "aren't you going to shoot it first?"

What the heck is she talking about? We thought she was crazy and she thought we were... we headed outside only to see that big buck standing up on all 4 legs in a complete daze looking around. Holy Crap! Yup, guess we'd better shoot him...

Bang!

Seriously folks... true story. And no, it wasn't a lame shot from some wannabe hunter. This deer had been shot straight in the head! (yes, the first time..)
