Dusted off new 11 year-old Hoyt Raptor, updated single pin Cobra sight and QAD drop down rest. Practiced all summer. Hunted this buck for 4 days after I first saw him on Halloween night. Set up mock scrapes which he was hitting by day 3 (watched him by moonlight 10 feet away). Next morning he was hitting a mock scrape 50 yards away, let off a grunt and he charged in roaring. He held up at the tree line then stalked out in front of me from downwind (thank you Code Blue on wicks). I new he was a shooter and thought he was a 6 point, cuz I stopped looking at his head and was concentrating hard on that quarter sized piece of fur on the chest. I was pleasantly surprised when I found him 30 yards away an hour later. I'm hooked. Gun hunting will never be the same. This guy is deserving of a shoulder mount in my book. (He was shot below the spine clean through about 10 days earlier with a gun by poachers.)
