problem with bucks !!!
Last weekend I was in the new blind and a few does were feeding around the blind. one doe I decided was big enough to take. she was about the size of the doe I took first day of the season.
she was quartering towards me so I was waiting for her to move broadside. finally she did but when she did her fawn came up and was feeding right next to her. if I shot and the fawn lifted her head , it would have been a head shot, so I waited. out of the other window was a smaller doe.
finally the bigger doe turned towards the smaller doe and there was my chance. I saw the smaller doe take off so I leaned ahead to see what made her run. and there was the 140 class 10 at under 10 yds. the one I passed up at the same spot a few days before.
So since the buck was right next to the blind I didn't take a shot at the doe.
So , tonight I went to the blind Tom and I hunted out of. first thing up was a button buck, after he left a doe with twins came by, she was only a 1-1/2 year old, so to small
when they walked away out came some more does and their fawns one was the size of the one I shot the first day so I decided when she steps infront of the opening I would take her. suddenly she bolted, why you might ask. well, another buck. he came up to the blind and then walked over by the does. he never gave me a shot at that time but he turned around and came back. I had the bow up and waited for him to walk thru the shooting lane. he was between both windows so I couldnt see him, after a bit I saw movement to the west and looked, but only a small doe, when I looked back here he was walking thru my shooting lane at about 12 yds, so I didnt get the shot.
he stayed by the blind till jon came to pick me up. so jon got a good look at him in the headlights
darn big bucks always coming in and screwing up my shots at the does.
this buck I got a few pictures of this late summer. but at 10 yds you really get to see the rack. he was under 10 yds for about 15 minutes.
here are a few pictures of him in Aug.
yea the little bugger on the right
and a picture of him a few weeks before. the little bugger on the left.
nothing like a big buck near your blind, made my evening.
it works out great at the blinds, jon drives me to the blind, I go up the lift and he drives off, so when we spook deer away from the blind by driving in, after he leaves they are right back. same with him coming to pick me up, the deer run off, but dont equate that with someone in the blind.
