you have taken?

Was just curious to hear some stories. My week long Georgia hunt last week presented me with a perfect chance to take an 8 point while he was raised up on his hind legs raking his antlers in an overhead limb above the scrape he just made/peed in. I passed on the bow shot from 25 yds because he needs another year or two to be Pope and Young material.

But I must say.. I was tempted, if for nothing else to have zipped one in that position.

Shot a buck Right after I finished cranking one out one time. I was a young lad. It was pretty awkward.

Taking a piss on a dog drive and had about 4 deer run past me. Gun was leaning against adjacent tree so I grabbed it during mid piss and fire a shot! Missed the deer but pissed on my boots / pants pretty good!

My uncle was climbing a ladder stand when a group of deer started running down the road behind us. While holding onto the ladder with one hand he shouldered a 30-30 and shot into the group and hit a 4 point in the eye.

I was watching a bunch of does in a food plot one time with a gal I dated in college. It was a 4x8 box stand, so of course about an hour before dark the stand started to rock back and forth. About mid-way through out of the corner of my eye I see a couple deer running right towards us. I stopped what I was doing and looked out the window to see a 130" 8pt running the does around in the field. I shot him, sans britches, then went back to what I was doing. All star hunt in my opinion.

If that story is true you have just become my all-time hero!! LOL

NOT exactly what I intended with the thread but I'll go with it

Heading out of the woods around noon one day and the burritos from the night before let me know getting to a gas station/ etc was not a choice. With no deer camp I just dropped load off to the side of a logging road. As Im finishing up I hear a deer stomp. Looking back over my shoulder I see a doe at @ 20 yds checking me out as I shat. Gun just out of reach of course. I'll always wonder what the hell was going through her mind as she watched on. Thank God for her that she was upwind or pulling the trigger may not have been necessary. :)
