11-27-2014 Thanksgiving morning hunt back in the stand in Northern iredell county. Had 3 doe's and one spike come through about 8:30am but decided to wait for a bigger one as had fresh scrapes and rubs surrounding stand site. Rain day before made the woods quiet and had to really pay attention to catch movement. This seven pointer snuck in from directly behind me and almost got away but i heard a faint twig snap and looked slightly back to see him broadside at 22 yards but behind some low growing holly bushes. He finally moved forward to a small opening after about 5 minutes of waiting. Filled my last buck tag for north western deer season. . 270 WSM, federal fusion 150 grain,TThankful fo the opportunity and the time to hunt.
