...and it ain't even on the wall!

Got him in Johnston Co., NC. I always tell friends if they see a good one, it could be a beta buck, with an alpha seein' where he can safely go. So wait till the first is almost gone, and watch the rear. Well, guess who got the beta...

Sermons go out the window when it's YOU tho', and the same with me. He disappeared as he approached in the brush, and I panicked. When he showed again, I forgot all about the sermon, and dropped him.

He bolted, and I heard him stop a little way's away. He was across a creek, no bridge, so it was start walkin', about 3/4 mile up and back the other side. Found him only 40' away, but it took :45 minutes once I got there. More panic!

Tied a rope to him, threw it across the creek, went back, and pulled him through the drink, and to the taxidermist.
