its been pretty tough since i killed the doe. i have had deer get fairly close but either they wouldnt come in where i wanted em or they were too little. been eat up with spikes coming in on me and taunting me.
i started the evening out with a short dove hunt bout 3:30 -5:45. pretty slow there too, but i managed kill 5. after leaving the field about ten til 6 i got in the woods and settled in up on a ridge that is a big oak flat.
a little after seven i was brough back to life from my daydreaming state by the sound of a trotting deer. i looked to my right to see a spike ( turns out to be a cool little 5 pt) trotting to a big oak to get a few acorns. i grabbed my bow and got ready, never had a chance to stand up..which i like to do.
as he fed around i waited for him to come in and feed and calm a little before drawing. he kept his front leg tucked in keeping me from getting a good shot. finally he opened up and i drew and focused on my spot trying to push through ( didnt get all the way through again) and released. here's the results.
went agaist my morals today when i shot this one, but ready for more meat and in the swap they all eat good big or small!!!

...very nice Trad "BUCK" Proud of ya !!! Glad You shot him. Why did you say this... ??? (went agaist my morals today when i shot this one) We put to much on the ..."BONE" in my way of thinking. Yes we all love big antlers ..of course ! But the way we hunt ...it in my book , is all the fun... YES .."FUN" !!!
Once again "CONGRAD" ... NICE BUCK !!!
Awesome buck. He reminds me of the deer image on my favorite swiss army knife.
Blood looks pretty good.. what was your opinion on that Centaur heads performance?
Great Job!
I said that because I generally will not kill a Buck unless it is at least 4.5 yrs old and I'm gonna mount it. We do a lot for the deer and manage. Long story on the land, but that part of the place is not as strictly managed as the rest.
The centaur heads are great. I love em! Great heads
Congratulations sir! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
