I was hunting all of Septembers and Octobers bow hunting season in this one spot behind a friends house.  I have seen a lot of big scraps in a small swamp.

It was in the evening on Novembers gun season.  I was out scanning the fields for does I was close to my friends place and there was about a half hour left to hunt that day. So I went there and started to walk down the trail to the bottom of the hill and I heard the dog barking on the ridge. I crossed a fresh trail of some does going out to the fields just before I got there so I stepped out on the bottom trail and as soon as I did I heard some thing coming down the opposite side of the barking on the ridge.

I just walked down, turned toward the noise and I saw something coming toward me then it slowed down and I see it was a dark deer with a small rack. So, I thought I shot once and I hit it it went right down.  As it went down his head reared back and all I seen were antlers. I've been still hunting the same area and there is another big scrape in the area hehehe.  Hopefully get a bigger one this year.
