Texas- Eight Point

by Josh Byerly
(Jasper, Tx.)

I have hunted this deer for 2 years and never saw him in the daylight until opening morning of the 2010 rifle season in East Texas. My wife actually saw the buck come by her stand first but couldn't get a shot on him, and just a few minutes later there he was about 190 yards from my stand. Then I lost him for about 15 minutes in some tall grass but finally found him again and made the shot that dropped him in his tracks!
