On October 16th, John dropped his buddy Sean off at the honey hole around 3:30pm. This spot was not hunted much, but John knew there was a big one in there.

Around 4:30pm Sean saw the bruiser through a small hole in the brush and the deer was walking away. He grunted at the deer, but nothing happened. Another grunt and the buck turned around and started coming in very slowly. As the buck approached the opening Sean drew back and let the arrow fly.

Sean called John to tell him the good news as the buck laid dead not more than 30 yards from his tree. The buck had a 20" spread and rough scored 127".
