Tiny

7:10 on 11/19/14 my youngest brothers birthday his stand he had to work that morning. I was in the stand for 45 minutes before "tiny" came from behind me and I stood up turned around rested myself against the tree and at 50 yards I shot. I thought OMG I just missed he took off at what seemed 100mph he didn't show any sign of being hit, so I watched him for as far as I could see him through the timber and out of sight. I waited only 10 minutes and got down to see if I could find any sign of a hit, nope I missed so I went back to the stand super mad at myself and went back to hunting. After about 45 minutes going through a nightmare in my mind I got back out of the stand and decided to look for tiny looking for anything. I went about 40 yards from where I shot and looked earlier and I looked to where I thought I last saw him and Holy...! There he was wow what a buck for this guy who thought for sure he missed. Now before I shut up and stop pecking this screen one more thing. I saw tiny 2 weeks before this with a bow in my hands at 44 yards, but he was with one of those smart slickheads who spotted me in the stand shakin like a leaf trying like crazy not to, but it happened, so she lopes off and tiny was soon to follow not knowing that I was the reason she was spooked. So that's about it in a nutshell, oh by the way my brother wasn't too happy on his birthday cause he wanted to go that day but work had to have him. Well I hope you enjoyed the outcome as much as I did. Thanks
