October 2nd is the day that it all came together, all the hard work and dedication over the years has finally paid off. Nicole and I chose this spot very carefully, with the help of trail cameras and a little bit of luck we were able to pattern "Brutus", over the past 6 months Brutus had made his presence known, with rubs all over the place, these rubs warned lesser bucks that this was his territory.
We arrived at the blind early on the 2nd, we knew there were several deer in the area that would travel through the center of these fields all throughout the day, we wanted to get in and set up with enough time for everything to settle down. After a mile walk in we finally reached the blind, by the time we sat down a little after 12, and there we waited, waited and waited but we were not discouraged we knew what was in the area. The wind started to calm down around 6:45, allowing us to hear everything moving around us. With the anticipation of waiting and knowing what this area possessed we were not discouraged, we hoped that Brutus would be making his appearance shortly. The sky was beginning to darken; I was peaking through the blind windows when I noticed a rack out of the corner of my eye. There he was, standing proud at the edge of the sunflower field, his rack stood tall and broad and he knew that this was his area. With every step closer my heart beat faster matching that of his step, and there he was 20 yards broadside, I quietly eased back my bow, and within seconds it was over! Nicole and I sat there for a second emotionless, just taking in what had just happened. Then with a big smile and a surge of adrenaline we celebrated what had just happened. The T3 broad head, mixed with the ability of the Z7 was a deadly combination, I could not wait to wrap my hands around this brute. We knew he would not go far, the arrow hit exactly where it was supposed to, we followed the trail for about 50 yards, and then saw the white belly. THERE HE IS I yelled, as I approached Brutus I knew all the hard work, all the time made the difference. Nicole did a perfect job with the camera, capturing it all on film. This was our first time filming a kill and to me it could not have happened better.
This is our dream, to make it big in the outdoor industry and I do believe we are off to a great start. Thank you all for your comments and for giving us the time! Also thank you for making this all possible, there are many of you out there that have helped us along the way, we truly could not do this without you and your support. Stick around and we will send more action your way! We will have the video posted shortly, AGAIN THANK YOU!!!!
Brett and Nicole
