My girlfriend had been hunting this buck during much of the 2000 bowseason, seeing it frequently but never getting a shot. I bowhunted elsewhere hoping she get it. When gun season rolled around and neither of us had tagged a buck, I decided I give (her) buck a try. My second time out, just before dark, a lone deer stepped out from the cover and milled around. In order to get a good look, I snuck closer keeping a small hill between us. Just as I moved around it, this 8pt. stepped into view. I took him through the heart with my Rem. 700, 50 cal muzzleloader. Needless to say, my girlfriend wasn't very happy.
