it's been an awesome season for me so far ! i had the trail cams out and between my food plots/feeders i saw and had many,many opportunities to take a deer before now.
i passed on quite a few small bucks and all the does i saw ,hoping to get ''BIG BOY"
i ended up being sick two times causing me to miss alot of time hunting while the rut was going on. for me,it's not about killing something just to brag.i love being out in the woods.i sometimes almost regret shooting a deer because they are beautiful
awesome creatures !
but today i figured it was time for some summer sausage/deer weiners
bout froze my butt off this morning and had actually gotten down out of my stand
and was drinking a cup of hot coffee from my thermos when i saw a flash of the famous ''white-tail'' in the distance. i hurried back up the ladder and watched as a decent buck harrassed a doe out of range. a few minutes passed and i heard deer running towards me from another direction . got the ole smokepole ready as a doe with two yearlings filed past me at 30 yds ! i held off for a bit hoping the buck i had seen would come back around. i don't normally shoot a doe if it has youngins with it,
[actually never have ! ] because i'm soft hearted ,but the other two looked big enough to take care of themselves. took one last look/listen for some antler to show
and let the smokepole speak its THUNDER !!! took a neck shot and dropped her like a rock ! i'm gettin to old to drag deer in 17 degree temps.it hurts the lungs !!!
called my brother to bring his atv.didn't weigh her but she will go at least 120-130 lbs.
sorry,no pic of this one. took her to the processor and it won't be cheap !
but like i said.....I GOT HUNGRY
i still have my archery tag and muzzy tag i can fill. plus i can still get two more bonus antlerless and a second archery tag.but can only kill 1 buck in a year.
sorry so long winded
