RE: Buck I got Monday
Well the hunting spot I got him is in town; not the best place for bucks but lots of does. One of the main reasons I hunt it is because I can get
some stand time in after work. Got in my stand about 5:30pm. Hadn't been
in the stand very long when I heard something behind me. Looked and saw
a doe standing there taking a piss. Blew my grunt call a few times to see
if anything was following her. She moved off alongthe ridge, and sure enough here comes this little 6 pointer. He milled around for a bit looking for whatever had been grunting, and checking out where the doe had been. He finally dropped back down off the ridge, but didn't follow the doe. About a half hour later I hear something coming from the way the
doe had gone. Here she came at a pretty good trot. I blew my grunt call
again, figuring something was on her tail. Sure enough here comes this little spike. He stops behind me, and keeps looking down the ridge the
way the little 6 pointer went. I figure he either sees him or smells him. The doe has stopped running, is standing there like she wants to be chased some more, and up out of the gully comes my 8 pointer. The spike just
kind of disapears. I've got this 8 pointer behind me and to the left, just where I want him, don't even have to stand up, just turn, draw and shoot.
The doe had started to run off, down the hill, he started to follow. He was
headed downhill so his front end was lower than his rear, and he reacted to the sound of me releasing the arrow by dropping some. Arrow went in
at the back of the ribs and buried into his spine. He dropped like a rock.
I have never spine hit a deer, and that was not the intention, but it sure worked; by the time I lowered my bow to the ground he was dead. I had him field dressed and was back to the truck, headed home to get the four wheeler by 6:45
