ADDICT Report post Posted August 22, 2013 VIDEO LINK: https://vimeo.com/72814836 The video tells the story of the hunt. Here's a side note: This is 75% of the crew. Jonathan Ruspil is taking the photo. Notice Cavett Chipman is barely grinning. HE IS JUSTIFIED!!! I am publicly declaring guilt for a violation that most hunters will hang over... I killed his buck!!! Cavett and I have hunted together for a long time. He has spent countless hours scouting, glassing, setting cameras, establishing patterns etc. The night this deer was harvested he had first shot. The bucks were single file in front of him and heading my way. I waited as told for what seemed like an eternity for Cavett to let the air out of him--but the buck kept coming. I watched the deer pass Cavett and continue coming up the trail to me. I drew on a smaller buck and waited for him to shoot this guy first. I frantically asked Larry if he was going to shoot as the deer were getting closer! He said he didn't know and that I should take a shot if I had it. In a panic I let my arrow rip and took the buck. I crushed my best friend. I blew it. I made a decision and it was the wrong move. He was pinned down by a smaller buck I couldn't see. He had the buck broadside at 30 yards. Cavett is my best hunting buddy. He accepted my multiple apologies. I wanted everyone to know that this deer is by far my best mule deer of my life-and owe it to you Soldier!

Notime2hunt Report post Posted August 23, 2013 I've seen you with quite a few nice deer on several posts. Congrats on another. If you don't mind me asking... Do you have a full time job? In order to continually harvest big deer means you have to know where to hunt/scout, which takes a lot of time. How do you have the time to do this if you have a full time job? I'm thinking about another job field because running your own business leaves a rare Saturday afternoon and every once in awhile a Sunday. It depresses me very much to not be able to hunt/scout.
