Panther Swamp: 3 for 3

For the third year in a row, Scott has put his name in to get drawn for a week long hunt at Panther Swamp.  For the third year in a row he has gotten drawn.  And for the third year in a row he's killed a nice 8-point there!

It was the first morning of the 7-day hunt when this 8-point walked up on him. Scott had just pulled out his Bible to do a little reading when he heard him walk up.  When Scott turned to see what it was, the deer caught a glimpse of him and ran behind a tree. Scott pulled his gun up and the deer took off running again.  He had already decided he was a shooter, but was thinking he had lost his chance.  Just before the deer got too far to shoot, he stopped broad side between two trees - the only spot visible was the kill zone.  Without even hesitating, Scott pulled the trigger.  The deer ran off and Scott didn't know if he had hit him or not.  When he went to look for blood, at first he found none.  Just as he was about it write it off as a miss, he found a huge pool of blood and the blood trail that led right to the harvest!
