Just to warn you upfront this will be long.
Well anyhow today was an amazing day. Hunting our usual public ground I decided I was gunna tak a little walk to the backside. The only way to get there was about a 2 mile walk. Well anyhow I walked there and got withing 40 yards of two does, I busted a basket rack, and saw a ton of turkeys including an all white one.
Well I finally get to where I want to be and, already there was a buck in my corner of the field, he was a little dink so I didn't worry and I pushed on slowly and he fed away. Well I sat down in a while and not much happened until about 540.
A medium size eight pointer came into the field about sixty yards away. I watched him for a while and he was nervous. but he had no Idea I was there. By the way I am hunting on the ground like usual and I have my back to a tree and to my left there is about a 10' square of brom grass.
Well the little eight is looking to my left so I raise up to look over the grass. In the middle of the field is A BIG deer. I got the Binos on him and he is a big ten with around 5 small 1 1/2 in kickers. His bases looked to be a little smaller than pop cans and he was outside his ears.
By the way we have been chasing 3 monsters for about 4 years on this ground. I believe this is one of them.
Sorry this is getting long.
Well anyhow i start to grunt and this gets the 8 riled up and he starts walking over to the monster. and they push each other around a little and the big guy snaps and bowls over the little eight and flips him on his back. The eight runs away. Now I am grunting and I am getting this deer mad but he wont come.
So I duck behind the grass and start breaking sticks and shaking trees while grunting. I get this guy heading my way!!!
I am making a ton of noise! He trots until he is about 80 yards and starts the swagger. Now it is pitch black in the timber where My dad is hunting about 2 1/4 miles away.
He even snort weezed!!! he keeps coming. He is standingbroadside at thirty and I decide to wait because he will come inside 15 and it will be a slam dunk!!
He gets to 20 I draw he is still clueless and I wait for him to stop and dad calls me!!! he wanted to see how it went since he knew I was having a good hunt since I talked to him earlier. He did't know I was on a field edge. I was gunna hunt the valley. (good thing I didnt)
I set my phone down in the leaves earlier so that I could see the time and even when on silent the lights go crazy and its almost dark. He sees the light and I see he is going to leave. I get it on him right on the point of his right shoulder And I let it fly right as he drops his head and turns into me and his antler defelcted the arrow.
That sounds like a horrible shot. but let me assure you, I had even kept my composer and made a good shot clean follow through and everything, It was one of thos you just know is gunna be right where you want it. It was just my luck. he ran a ways and stopped. B
By the way When he was in 30 yards. I COULD SMELL HIM!!! Whew he stunk!! it was my coolest deer hunting experience ever. I'll tell ya what he scores sometime during the rut.
haha
The rest is history, Ill get to chase him another day.
Gotta hate cell phones!! but gotta have em.
