Got news from my brother. This buck is still around. He saw him one morning this past week, said he was HUGE! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
First time hunting this oak flat. I should at least see something as many acorns as there are on the ground. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Set up under a white oak that looked to be pretty hot. Broke out the Helo for my first hang and hunt. Got here at 3:45 and didn't get completely set up until 5:00. Didn't even have an arrow nocked yet, and had a doe come in to 13yds. Everything looked good, but unfortunately she walked out of frame at the shot. Sitting a little longer before I climb down.
Clean miss. I thought it was a heart shot but I guess it was low. Those strobing nocks mess with me compared to the solid ones. Oh well, I prefer a clean miss to a wound.
Hell yeah, Congrats! Nothing wrong with that buck! Don't forget them pics, hopefully @bowhuntingbebout had similar success.
It's all a part of the game. If every shot was perfect it would get boring pretty quick...... Hell, who am I kidding, sucks about the miss. Redemption is the key. Keep after it. 18 days and I start my rutcation. Going to work a half day the 28th so I can get everything loaded up and double check everything without that 4 hour rush after work. Going to be a long 17 days and I want all the rest I can get
One of the joys of the stickbow... misses! It was the best sit I've had all season with 6 deer sightings and 1 miss.
Got required pictures for the contest. I probably won't be able to get a tape on him until Sunday. Should I go ahead and enter him with score pending? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
I hunted behind my house this morning. Spooked a couple walking in the dark to my stand. Didn't see anything. Decided to hunt the thousand acres my son-in-law has leased for his cattle. Knowing he was pasturing the bottoms, I went to the backside of the farm. Hunted a ladder stand on a white oak flat on the top of the ridge. It was extremely warm and windy. I hadn't seen anything. Between 5:30 and 6:00 the wind calmed down and the woods got quite. I gave a couple soft grunts. About 10 minutes later I heard him coming out of the hollow. He feed along just out of range. I decided if he gave me a good shot I would take him. He turned and walked up onto the flat, stopping at 23 yards. He was slightly quartering away when I let the arrow fly. He made a mad dash over the ridge top then downhill.I was sure it was a good hit and was pretty sure I heard him crash. Found blood right away; not a great blood trail but not terribly difficult to follow either. Found him before dark but it was well after before I had him loaded. Mainframe 8 point with 2-3" sticker on his left antler, nice mass and bladed point on his right side. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
you might want to post it with score pending just in case you accidentally delete the pics. Just make sure to add the complete socring breakdown later.
