Well another morning with out a good one down. Im not complaining so dont get me wrong :d Im still covered in bucks daily but just cant get the right ones close enough, or out of the brush for a shot. This morning found me in a strange tree that i set up in trying to get a crack at a buck i had seen yesterday morning at about 100 yards. This is a buck i had also seen the other evening in the same general area but i had watched from yet another stand. Well this morning a spike starts it off walking right by me, i was smiling :d Then at 8:00 i see movement in the thicket im hunting beside. I see a Doe in that, i have something chasing me kinda fashion. Seconds later its the buck im pursuing, but instaed of cutting out of the thicket past me like i have been watching alot of deer do they continue and exit it on the back side about 80 yards from me. I grunt, he stops, i grunt again, he starts toward me and locks up for 15 minutes straight before heading toward where the Does had gone. Now there is an 8 point following him that i have passed on twice. five minutes later the biggest 4 point i have ever seen walks by me. I have noticed that in the three sightings that he has came or went through a small bottle neck on the back corner of the thicket, and in between a small patch of a thick grown up area. SO, i now have a tree picked out for this evening and tomorrow morning if need be. wish me luck. like i said its mature buck or nothing this year.
Sounds like you're getting close and have a good game plan - keep tightening up that noose until you've got him! Keep at it, get in there, get aggressive, and it will pay off. I dig the "all or nothing" attitude. That's good stuff right there. Go Gonzo or Go Home
Well Crick, we all know that anything you do is slow :evil: :d !! Get in there and make us proud, we want to see pics tomorrow! And props on closing in.
Well tonights update on the move. The big boy did not show but i did see a very white racked 8 point at 80 yards under the tree i killed my buck in last year :d he was about a 100"er 35 minutes before dark another darker racked 8 point walks right through my necked down bottle neck at 20 yards he looked a little over 100" Now for the good stuff and this is just a guess 20 minutes before dark i hear a very LOUD DEEP grunt in front of me about 80 yards out but i cant see it... guess where it was :d near the tree i moved from this morning I left my climber on the tree i was in this evening and will be back in the morning.. Dubbya you suck!! :d
