JACK Report post Posted September 9, 2011 Here is my buck I shot Monday morning...We watched this buck for a few days, he wasn't the biggest buck on the mountian but he did get in a spot that gave me the opportunity to sneek up on him. We watched him go into "the slit" and he never came out so we figured he had layed down. So I made a loop and got the wind and some elevation on where we thought he was. I eased my way down the the draw stopping and glassing every few yards until I spotted him and four does bedded in the bottom under a canopy of choke cherry trees. They were about 100 yards below me...30 minutes later they were 50 yards...but if I could get to that next bush they would be 40 yards...got to 40 and still had some oak brush to hide behind so I continued down the draw...got to 30 and all I could see were antler tips over sage brush...but there was one tall clump of sage brush left for cover...I got to the big clump of sage undetected...23 yards...Wow! I thought this is almost to close...all five deer were literally asleep...I was above him, he was curled up and laying at kind of a funky angle, figured I was either going to hit him in the neck or lungs...I don't even have a 20 yard pin so I put my 30 right where his neck went into his body...touched the trigger and WHACK! sounded like a .22 went off...I hit him right in the neck, shattered his spine and cut the gugular...he never even moved. I made one of the best stalk of my life and killied my biggest archery buck to date with my good friends watching! It was awesome! Pretty sure I am addicted to spot and stalk archery hunting!
