Well, I passed my test I set for myself this year. I said at the beginning of the season that I wouldn't shoot a buck unless it was well over 150". I shot a doe last weekend and I'm setting my standards higher than last years buck.
Last night I went in on a recon hunt, checking out a piece of land I got permission on. I ended up walking around 2 farms with 60 lbs. of crap strapped to my back. By the time I got settled in my stand it was about 5:15.
I ended up seeing 2 little bucks and a dandy 10 pointer. I grunted at the 10 pointer as he was crossing a creek bottom about 60 yards away. He came right in and he was pissed. The buck was snorting and looking for trouble. He was about 145" and a trophy by any means. He stopped and offered me 3 different broadside shots, just begging for my Muzzy.
I hope that I don't end up kicking myself in the ass come December, but you can't shoot a Booner if you tag the first 145" buck that walks by. Besides, I have Nov. 6-14 off for RUT-WEEK.
