Herbert Derise shot and harvested this deer in Covington County on 12/2/10.

Herbert said, "I hunted this deer sinse October first and the deer has been out smarting me until now. Got to love the pre rut. What made it so exciting is that when it was time to shoot. The gun miss fired. Then the adrenalin kicked in. With only 2 seconds and the deer was gone, I kept it together in my lean-to stand and made a good shot. What a rush!"
