I was in the tree stand at 5:20 this morning. About 7:00 I saw a couple of does about 75 yards away in the woods. I was going to take the bigger of them when I spotted this guy following them:
First blood for the new Encore pistol.

He ran about fifty yards and went down. Kicked a bit and was done.

I count it as twelve Dave, but he's got a little sticker on the base of his right antler that is about an inch long and could be a thirteenth point I guess.
