Apatkelley Report post Posted November 4, 2008 After 5 long hot days of hunting I finally shot a deer. He's no monster but I had fun chasing him and his buddy for several days. I was alone on this hunt and I was finding the deer out in the flats. It was tough to find them once I dropped from my vantage point. After the third attempt in 2 and half days, I eventually got to within 60 yards of the two bucks I had been chasing. One of them ran up on a small hill at about 108 yards. I had been telling myself as I stalked them that I would shoot either one of them. It was after 5:00pm Wednesday evening and there was only one day left in the hunt. I made the shot and he was down. I would have tried for better field pictures but I only had my camera phone, and I had a 1.99 mile pack out to make so I didn't take too much time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
