at 4:58 last night. up untill last Sunday, the bucks were going berserk in my woods but that all came to a halt on monday. i sat most mornings and evenings looking at a dead zone. we don't gun hunt so things were quite undisturbed. yesterday, i got in the stand at just before 3 and decided to take the next buck that showed up as i want to get on to coyote hunting. about 3:30, a forky came by but something told me good things to come if i waited. at 4:55, a decent 10 came following a fawn i i was ready to take him when a twig snapped behind me followed by a grunt. i turned my head to see this one following a doe. decision time:...take the 10 at 10-12 yards or try and turn 180 for the 8. the 8 i think is a 4.5 and the 10 is a 3.5 so i decided to try for the 8. got turned around and he followed the doe under me at about 8 yards. was a super chip shot but somehow i shot high. Denise and i followed blood with flashlights after dark but the bloodtrail was not great so we went back this morning. it was a horrible trail and took a long time and about 400 yards but we found him right on the river edge tucked into a deep washed out grassy hole. did not get him out till about 12:30. was a tough drag. got him caped and ready for the taxidermy man. not a big rack but his cape/colors are awesome
Bucksnbears thats a big rack buck. he looks like hes over 120 inches. that's a buckmasters qualifier. a trophy buck. congrats
