Hancock7WSM Report post Posted November 23, 2009 My wife had her first deer tag down south this year in late Oct. After a couple days of scouting, and hunting,she was able to hammer this guy saturday morning. We spotted him way up on the highest ridge in the area. SHe was able close some distance but still it was going to be a 538 yard shot straight up. She was able to get a solid rest and the rest is history. She mad a perfect shot, the buck went straight down. I couldnt be any happier. My hunting buddy Eric and i then had a couple tags in a unit neither of us have ever hunted before. We spent the last couple months getting all the info we could about the area we wanted to hunt. I was able to make one scouting trip, to try to get a feel for the land and some spots that looked like coues country. We were able to get up there a couple days before the hunt to get some more scouting in. Opening morning found us on a high knob, half a mile from the road before the sun was up. We saw tons of does and some spikes but nothing we wanted. The sun was hot and it was late so we decided to head back for lunch and then head back out. That evening found us in another great looking area. We got our tripods and binos set up and with in seconds Eric spotted two bucks. Eric packed up and was off running. He was able to get 451 yards from the bucks and made a perfect kill shot on the bigger buck. I was still back 738 yards from the deer. I decided to take a crack on the smaller buck. I got down on my pack, dailed in my scope and took the shot. I heard the "thud" and knew he was down. With two bucks down, and the sun going down we had to get to work. It wasnt the toad i wanted but i couldnt ask for a better way to end the hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
