dbengraver Report post Posted December 19, 2013 Well my hunt ended short was going try to make I longer hunt but only made it to the second day so here's the story! Got up at 4am Friday am to head out with my dad who also has a tag, so we get to our spot get set up and 2 minutes later does so we watch them and a little bit later I spot the first buck a mid 70s 3x not bad but not a opening morning buck so the day goes on and we ended up seeing 5 bucks all small ones and 9 does . So we head out to another spot for the evening and not much happened only seen 2 does so time to head in and try again in the am . Day 2 back to the same spot as the morning before but now its really windy so we get set up I ended up sitting down to glass with my tripod, about 10 minutes goes by nothing then I look down below us and their is 2 does about 250 yards I tell my dad and he moved over on the other side of me to get a better look at them. A few minutes go by and he says I got a small 2 point I find him and watch him feed across the bottom hoping he jumps something out but nothing and I watch him bed so u start glassing around nothings moving to windy,then I here my dad say I got one tell me what you think ? So I jump up run over look at him for about 30 seconds and he says do you want him I said yep he said get your gun so I do and get set up, look threw my scope nothing my dad says are you on him I sat I can't find him so I look bare eyed and hes lower than I was looking so I readjust my rifle now I'm good. I tell my dad ok are you on him he says yeah boom shot 1 the gun jumps I loose him my dad said he's hit and now he's to the left of the cedar about ten yards I find him in my scope head down quartered away my dad says can you Sneak one in his shoulders I said nonim not that steady he says ok move over here so u do and lay down and get set up for shot #2 my dad says ok are you good now yep solid boom gun goes off loose deer again I say where is he? Dad says he took two steps and layed down back in the scope yep I got him boom shot #3 dad says he's done!!! I get up get all my stuff together and now the real fun begins! A short 30 min hike to get to him now its 9am get all the hard work done now time to pack him out. Back to the truck by lunch and headed home. Got a tape on him he's an even 90 inched my biggest buck so far! now time to get my dad his! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
