The Oct. 27th the predawn thunderstorm was finally moving on as I waited it out in my tent. At 9:30 the sun began to show and so did the bucks. I was filming 5 bucks up close and wondering how long it would be before they noticed the doe walking down the fence line. I looked left and saw this beautiful buck coming. I filmed him for a moment, then got my bow ready and waited for him to step into the next window. Suddenly, the 5 bucks on my right exploded after the doe they finally noticed. The big eight point took a couple of steps forward but a cedar tree momentarily blocked his view of the doe. I knew I had to act fast. I drew and leaned over to shoot at an angle through the window and tapped him at 33 yards with my Mathews Legacy. The Nap Spitfire through his heart ended it about 80 yards away and I had a great, 146″, heavy beamed 8 point on the ground.
