So read this quick story of how this happened before you watch the kill shot!! I dropped my kids off at school and forgot my phone. So before heading to work I headed home to get it. Right before the turn to my house a giant deer ran in front of me.... looked like a 10 point. He was headed in the direction of my property, so I gunned it the last 1/4 mile home, ran inside, grabbed my gun, camera and , along with my rattling horns and Hooks Custom Calls Grunt call. Threw on my Prym1 Camo pants and jacket over my work clothes and headed out back. I got set up, turned on the camera, did a few long tending grunts, waited 2 mins and started to rattle. Not 2 mins later the same giant steps out of the brush to my left about 80 yards looking at me. I didn’t have time to turn the main camera but luckily I had the Tactacam FTS on my rifle to capture the moment! I had to move my gun that was on the REKON tripod over, so I know he saw me move, but he was still pumped up from looking for a fight he didn’t even care. I lined up and BOOM! He ran 30 yards!! But upon inspection he was not the 10 point that I thought he was! He was a 12!!! Tagged him using my reusable Game Tags I then called my work and let my assistant know I was going to be late, and told her why, and she started cracking up. But I said I will bring in meat for everyone, which made them excited. Even though I will now be staying late at work tonight to make up for it, I love it when a plan comes together! Tagged out in Burnet County.

I have seen too many people miss becuase they wait for the "perfect shot" I practice quick acquisition and accurate placement quickly - so when the time comes I can do the same in the field. Also this buck saw me move while rattling and was not sure how long he was going to stick around for, so I took the first good shot I had.. Heart was hit (barley hit but hit) and lungs were mush.

Mainframe 8 with kickers, call it what you want. Nice buck and cool story.
Next time you write up something, leave the laundry list of sponsor stuff off, it read like a infomercial. I really hated that for your story since it is a cool story, just leave the name dropping to your videos.
It really was a cool story tho, congrats on the buck, I wish I could hunt out my back door. City life, it hurts during deer season

Enjoyed reading your story on my Dell Optiplex 7040 desktop with 21" Samsung screen, and made note of some of the products you mentioned with my Pilot G-2 on a Business Source Legal Pad 63105.
Haha, nice deer.

Tagged him using my reusable Game Tags nice buck! What part of Burnet County? Close to lampasas / Kempner area used to be lots of deer in that area. I hunted several years down county road 223 right at the Burnet county line. That's a good deer for that area (at least from when I hunted there)
