RDG and her 8pt

Well it's been a looong season so far here in 2009. I've hunted over 35 hunts and have only have a decent 8 pt to speak up. I've seen some muy grandes though! One 150"+ and two or three 140"+ class bucks, I just happened to have my bow with me at the time. RDG was finally able to get away from work and school and get one hunt in this weekend. Sunday morning was a cold, foggy, and slow morning. Right before daylight we saw a monster buck cruising the wheat field line chasing a doe. We gave him another hour or so but he never showed. Being that RDG doesn't have much time to hunt with they way her schedule is, I figured that her luck of getting a buck at all on our place was about to be out after this weekend. Around 8am a spike hopped the fence back into the wheat field and fed then another doe. At that time a huge thunder roared as I looked out the left window of the blind I could see a huge cold front/storm brewing. It wasn't 5 minutes when I looked out the opposite window and saw a great first buck for RDG about 300 yds away doggin' a doe. She wasn't going to have much time getting on this buck none the less me getting it on film. I grunted as he pulled up from the doe and RDG made her first shot - she had missed. As I ejected the .270 cartridge, the buck was still standing there. I couldn't believe it. As she got back on the buck he started running - OUR WAY!!! At 225 yds I grunted one last time as she put the cross hairs on the bucks vitals - BOOM!!! Down went RDG's first "non-cull" buck. I was shocked! She had just dropped a 135 lb buck at 225 yds! I know about 2 people who have shot that far and killed a deer before - and now my RDG?!? Better not make her mad lol. In short, it was a great hunt! I'm working on the video as well as her mount as we speak (type) whatever it is lol. I'll try and get it up as fast as I can. Good luck hunting!
