Well on Wednesday I decided to hit the stand and got out there at 230 and immediately starting seeing movement. I had a little 8 cruising around and then vanishing in the brush about 60 yards out. I sat there for 40 more minutes without seeing another deer then noticed 2 does working there way in and I got excited telling myself there had to be a buck with them. After watching these 2 does for 10 minutes they walked away. I decided to rattle a little after these does walked off, and this is where it gets interesting.
After I rattled I noticed a nice 8 appear out of no where. This buck got to 15 yards and I was sizing him up and aging him deciding if he was a shooter. I came to the conclusion ne was a 3 1/2 that would of scored 120s. I was setting in the stand just debating if I wanted to shoot this buck. He then turned around and walked off after I decided I was gona take him. I was beating myself up on this one saying I should of shot him, I was a little pissed at myself for letting him walk because he would of been my biggest with the bow.
Well not even 5 minutes after that buck walked away I noticed movement to my left. I saw a nice buck to my left about 40 yards and immediately new it was a shooter, but for some reason instead of picking up the bow I go for the binos. Right when I pick them up he pegs me. I was thinking no way its over, but it was actually iust beginning. He put his head down and headed right for me. I sat the binos down and grabbed tthe bow and he pegged me AGAIN! This time I was saying it was really over but this guy was so pumped for a fight he put his head down again and headed my way. He got to 20 yards and started making a scrape, after that he stepped on a trail that goes right by my tree. He got to 10 yards completely broadside and I stopped him while drawing my bow and let the Muzzy attack.
After the shot he ran 30 yards turned around and stared my way went to take a step and wabble, then another step and another wabble, then boom. He fell, I was astatic, just freaking out. I soon got down and walked up to my prize.
I will get pics soon enough I can't post pics on my phone, and we don't have internet at the time. Would anyone care to post em if I sent through email?
