Title: Great morning in woods
Post by: hitman on November 03, 2015, 06:18:00 PM
Yesterday evening I returned to an old haunt I had not hunted in a few years with my climbing stand. I had a close call with a sneaky coyote but could not get a clear shot. Went back this morning and action started quick.
Looking back behind me down over a small bank I spied what looked like a spike slipping around. Deer started appearing, seemed like everywhere, bucks grunting and crashing around. Could see 1 antlered buck but he was going away. I got my grunt tube and gave a few calls and shortly here came 3 spike bucks right up under me. With only 1 buck tag left I decided to pass on the youngsters.
Afer things settled down a little 2 does started working their way up the bank angling behind me. I got turned around waiting for them to walk into an opening and sent my wood arrow tipped with 160 VPA through her boiler room. After getting down and a 150 yard tracking job I had my second deer of this season. I,m trying to get a pic but my laptop is junked up and having trouble.

Congrats! I'm having a tough time finding a cooperative doe so I can hunt the rut for a decent buck. Any other year I would be swamped with does.

Nice bow too!
