Got up this morning and grabbed my gp100 and headed down the road a few miles to a small 20acre farm i hunt. got setup in a natural ground blind i had made yesterday evening. around 7:30 i hear alot of noise in the creek bottom....look over and sure enough, here comes a 6 point chasing a doe. the doe hops the creek and the lil buck stops to catch his breath:) i lean up against the oak tree beside me and squeeze the shot off. and down he went!!! 60yrds with a 180gr. lead bullet! i walked up to him and just kneeled and said a prayer....thanking the good Lord for letting me harvest some venison for the family:) ive only been a member here for a week or so and i can tell that you guys will appreciate this! thanks for all the warm welcomes so far! 
JOHN 3:16 THANK YOU LORD!!!

Congrats! That's a fine trophy.
