Shot him around 1:08 pm. Was on my way to the stand, sneaking down the logging road. Stopped to glass the new plot, though I heard steps over the hill directly below me, then the wind picked up. Slid off the logging road and behind a big hemlock, started glassing. Took ten minutes for me to get a clear shot at him. I think if I'd known how good he was I would have missed! I did my job, the old 700 did it's job. He went about 40 yards. Drag was 400 feet elevation down switchback logging roads that were like dragging him over sandpaper. My dad and our hunting buddy picked me up at the bottom of the hill.
