soccerstar2013 Report post Posted December 30, 2011 Went out to 36b this morning in hope of filling my archery tag! Saw around 40 does and 3 bucks! The morning started out kind of strange we were glassing for about 30 minutes and had found a couple small groups of does when all of the sudden I look o my left and there were 2 does and 2 fawns feeding right towards the road 40 yards from me! THere ended up being about 10 deer in this group, that had a small spike with them! I shot at the spike at 63 yards and missed. Can you say buck fever first time archery hunting and first shot at a deer gets you going! Glassed some other hills and found a group of about 9 does that had what looked like a forky with them, but they moved down into the wash to fast to get a good look! We decided to head home for the day and on the way out I saw some does feeding on a hill 350 yards away! We got out of the car glassed them and couldn't tell if there was a buck with them so we got the spotting scope out. 5 minutes into watching them the 2 does on the far left starting acting strange and kept looking behind them! Sure enough this nice 4x4 with a sticker on the right side came out! He was rutting hard moving from one doe to another! I made my stalk got within 80 yards of where I last saw them and they had disappeared? I kept looking down into the wash when all of the sudden a doe 30 yards to my right busted then the other 14 does busted up the other hillside at 80 yards The buck never showed itself again not sure where he went but it was great to finally see a mature buck rutting hard! Here are some pics: This is the group of 10 does that were right off the road with the little spike These are to pictures of the 4x4 sorry not very good quality phone through a spotting scope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
