Here in SE Oklahoma the deer and hog population has seemed to explode in my region. 30 years ago one had to go to remote areas to find either one. This deer season, my son and his friends are hunting on my 1/4 Section within a quarter mile of my house.
They had there stands picked out for opening day, but my son's brother-in-law met up with my bull in the pasture at dawn, and my bull felt intimidated, so the lad made a 90* turn, and walked right up on a 4, and an 8 point buck. He got on his all fours and crawled up to an old log, and he took the nice 8 point with his 30-06 through the front chest and exited with a big hole behind the left shoulder. It still traveled about 30 yards before dropping. There were 2 more bucks sighted that morning.
