ac guy Report post Posted February 2, 2008 Had a last minute opp to go out yeterday for deer. Got to my spot, it was a perfect day, 50*, clear skies, little wind. I get ready, get my pack on, and grab my bow, when I realize that the limbs were awfully straight. I pull off my sling, and yep, busted string. All I could do is laugh, i figured it was a lesson learned, and getting mad wouldn't help. I have a HAM tag in the same area, so I decide to at least get some scouting in. I go up towards my spot, and of course, there stands a fat 3x3 mulie. Nothing huge, maybe a 130+, but definately a shooter. I giggle. The cool part is he was with 4 does who had 3 fawns with them. Don't know what they're eating, but I wish the rest of the state had some. So I go over a couple of hills and sit to glass, no doubt, there sits a nice buck under a tree about 400yds away. I frown. I did find a lot of fresh pig sign, so it was productive. Plus those bucks will still be there in August, so will I! __________________ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen the same thing this year with the fawns, its weird how the weather plays a role in how many offspring they can have. I saw a 3x3 with 4 does but one had a bad leg, it looked to be broken. By chance was this in 24B and did one of those does you saw have a bad led? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
