My Kansas buck and hunt with a great friend!!!

[shedhunta]

I am tuned in!

[K.S.TRAPPER]

He was to close, and coming right at us. He started to turn to his right so Curt shifted for the shot then suddenly he turned 180 to continue down the rubline. I was hugging my tree as tight as I could but could see Curt slowly make one little move to shoot and he got us, stopped looked up and took off that quick.    :mad:    :mad:    :mad:    

I'm standing there slowly beating my head on the tree when Curt taps my foot and says he's still here. Sure enough 50yds out he's standing there like what was that and then skirts us and continues on his way down the line. Funny how fast it can go from good to bad but not to bad because it wouldn't take long and Curt would be all over him again.

We seen many does and young bucks during the morning and a really nice shooter right when Curt put all his cameras up and started to lower his bow. The evening hunt was even better, hope Curt can tell you about it. My good camera is broke so only have phone picks and videos but Curt got some good ones.

There's nothing like the story of a mature Whitetail in the Timber.  Very cool stuff here. It's got my attention.

Curt can tell you about his week, I can tell you it was nonstop action. Finally got a good south wind so I headed to one of my favorite stands in a leaning oak tree on top of the ridge over looking a large main scrape.

 

Even before daylight I had deer hitting the scrape, after daylight I had bucks chasing does in the valley below me and on the bench across from me. Does started funneling through some working the licking branch then bucks some were pretty good but need a couple years.

I heard deer scatter and looked up and seen a shooter coming i thought. He seen a doe near the scrape and charged her stiff legged and grunting, when he turned sideways and I seen his mass I said good enough then everything is auto pilot. He chased her off and smelt were she stood didn't like it then came strait at me and walked directly under me, I said not good!

Then he turned and walked to the trail at 6 yards angling away, I started to draw but let down then he stopped perfect. He never even moved till the arrow was buried almost to the nock, first thought perfect, second dang He broke my lucky arrow!!!

I hit the far leg and that dougfir arrow from my buddy Treekiller Ron French has killed 3 bucks, a doe and a turkey. He ran down the hill around the bench about a 100yds and I heard 4 loud nasty coughs maybe 15 sec later. The 200g Ace blood trail was easy to follow.

This was my grandson Tristan's first tracking and deer recovery we had a blast.

 

Thanks for looking!
