Its been a really good season for seeing big bucks.
I shot a 160" ten pointer with my bow but hit him too high. Fortunatly he survived and we have seen him a couple of times since. I had another 160" ten pointer about 32 yards but he never gave me a shot. The last week of bow season I had a huge 8 point at 16 yards but he turned and walked directly away from me right before he hit my shooting lane. The last 2 days of bow season I had a 3yo mid 130s ten point really tempt me but I held off.
Opening morning of gun season my hunting buddies Dean Stallion & Marvin Bruce killed really nice bucks. That evening I had the mid 130s ten pointer at 65 yards. Once again tempting but not what I was looking for. 30 minutes later a buck entered the ditch line I was in. He was in some thick stuff so I had a tough time getting on his vitals. When I shot he dropped in his tracks, 30 seconds later he was up and walking back towards the direction he came from. My 2nd shot dropped him again. All I could see was his belly and right side of his rack and he kept trying to get up again. After 10 minutes of no movement I got down and snuck up to him and he was till alive!. I put another shot in him and he finally expired. I had hit him behind the shoulder the first shot and the neck on the 2nd shot. I figured the shot in the neck was the first but it was on the oppisite side of my 1st shot. Not sure how he lived that long!
The next morning my other hunting buddy Sonny Dotson killed a big 8pt.
