tucrats Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Well where can I start? First off this year I was on a hunt by myself, really sucks, but I just had to keep pushing. After the first four days of nothing but does, I was about to just give up! On the fith day a very good friend of mine Steve took me out to a differnt area to show me more possabilities. I took the next day off and was still down and out about not seeing any bucks. So Yesturday I get up and head out anyway. The wind was horrible and I found myself getting very discouraged and really wanting to give up. However I did not. I decided to give one more chance at glassing this hillside and as soon as I was walking to get a better view, he jumped! I watched as he climbed the hillside and bedding down. Now I made my move! I have no idea how far it was but it felt like forever trying to stalk. I finally got close enough and was not sure if he had already busted me and ran. So I sat for about fifteen minutes and then decided to try to get closer, BAM!! Busted me, So I went straight for my rifle and now Iknow what BUCK FEVER is. I missed high, missed low, missed left, missed right then finally BAM, Got him. All I could do was yell "YEAH". It sure was hard getting him out by myself and all my gear, it felt like hours! Well I will never hunt by myself again! Thanks Terry (25.06), Steve, Rob and everyone else who would not let me give up even though I was alone! I will try to load a pic!
