Nothing compares tol seeing the buck of a lifetime walk thirty yards from you and be clueless you are there. But nothing is as gutwrenching as having nothing in your hand to shoot him with.
Went out to the property today to hang my new climber and try it out. Picked the spot where j consistently seem deer move thru last year but to far out of range. I got about twenty feet up and was standing there talking to my stepdad I the ground. All the sudden heard something in the cedar thicket above me and out came a big doe with the biggest buck I have ever seen right behind her. She stopped for a second and seen my dad and wheeled off while he froze for a minute completely unaware that we were there as he was so focused on her. He was about thirty yards out wide open. He was a huge ten with g2 there were probably a foot long at least. My stepdad who has killed some huge bucks said that deer would go 300 live weight. Glad to know here is there but that was the sickest I have ever been in a stand
