OpticNerd Report post Posted January 31, 2011 Yesterday morning was my last opportunity to hunt this month and I got very close but couldn't seal the deal. I was able to find 5 does and 4 bucks. None of the does had bucks with them even though the bucks were still running around with there noses glued to the ground. I was able to get within 40 yards of a decent buck but when I drew my bow back he busted me and hauled tail I think he might be in Canada by now. Anyways it was a short morning and I was basically done by 8:30. I really wanted to be able to post some kill pics but I'm not a good enough hunter yet so this video clip of the buck I choked on is all I got. Maybe come August I'll be able to post something other then stories and footage of all my unsuccessful attempts at hunting coues with a bow. I took this footage about an hour before I was able to get into bow range. Even though I didn't get the buck it was still and incredible and fulling experience being with bow range of this buck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt7iHieS0OM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OpticNerd Report post Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks everyone. I'm going to try to get out and scout a bit more this year and try to refine my videoing skills. My goal is to find at least 1 buck over 100 by August and hopefully have him figured out by then. I'm already getting excited just thinking about. Can't wait its going to be fun!
