Act 4 - Scene 1:
Once again as I climbed my stand sounding only like a squirrel....the Triple Heat was slowly foggin into the thicket. I'd no more than gotten settled in when 'Mr. Torment' sounds off in the thicket again. I'm on point from the word go, but he just aint gonna come out.
Act 4 - Scene 2:
From the 4 o'clock position behind me I spot a white flicker and movement coming my way about 20 minutes after good light...I get into position as this deer is coming right into the 'V' off to my right side. Meet 'Tricked Ya'...a fine looking doe coming into the red zone as I focused on the broadside lane I'd take the shot in....right on que. As I started my draw the deer stops and raises its head...."What?...don't tell me that". Just about burned a tag on a button buck. He gets a free pass through two more quartering lanes and turns left as he skips into the pre thicket.
Act 4 - Scene 3:
From the 10 o'clock position out of the real thicket comes 'Side Kick'...and he and Tricked Ya frolick about in the red zone playfully sparing and practicing their spin moves then proceeded into the thicket two abreast.
Act 4 - Scene 4:
Here we go again....movement coming my way from the 4 o'clock position. 'Mr. Goofy' comes barreling into the 'V' and straight into the red zone and stops. A 5 inch spike on one side, and a 2 incher on the other. He looks around dazed and confused for a bit, and goes the way of the button bucks.
Act 4 - Scene 5:
"You gotta be kidding me!!!!...not ANOTHER ONE!"
'Mr. Cow Horn' comes in from the same direction with his 8 inch curve shinning in the sun rays....right into the 'V'....and into the thicket.
Act 4 - Scene 6:
From the 8 o'clock position comes a buck...I see more than spikes, but not sure if he's a tag burner or not, dang he's got a big body and boy does he look healthy. Cutting across the V behind me he turns left on the morning's well traveled trail. 'Mr. GQ' enters the red zone and just captivates me. I am laying eyes on THE most beautifull whitetail I've ever seen. He must have been 8 or 9 years old with a dark rack that was on the down hill slope...only a 5 pointer but he was something else to gaze upon. Dark rich brown coat with gray misted in. He looked way too warm and cozy to be in South GA. What really set him off was that he looked like he was wearing cream colored knee high socks. This buck had one of my buck tags in my pocket saying 'psssst'. I was really considering shooting him when he came right on into the broadside lane. I mean he was in range already and coming in ....then he stopped...and got antsy. With his head held high and looking about, I dare not re-position for a shot for fear of busting him....maybe he'll settle and continue. No-go, something had him rattled and he turned right and pranced off the way the other deer had come from. I checked the wind, not me he smelled.....and I aint even set foot over there. Hmmmmmm......but boy wasn't he a sight, one I'll not ever forget.
Act 4 - Scene 7:
15 minutes of stillness, but only a couple of baby squirrels playing directly in front of me. I hear out of the blue right behind me...SWOOSH-SCRRUSSH-SPAAT-WHACK-THUDDD!!!! "Dang amighty what was that"!!! Sounded like a 300# boar hog done smelt me and did a dilly whip-ran over 3 saplings-and tripped over a hollow log. I turned to see the biggest bobcat I've ever seen walking off with a squirrel. With the sun rays coming in at that angle I couldn't see his spots and I could have swarn he was a cougar....but sure enough there was a 4 inch tail. Now there's a real hunter for sure.
Act 4 - Scene 8:
Right down the same path Mr. GQ came from comes another deer...looks like a doe...please be a doe...pretty please........."What the heck!!!....is someone playing a joke on me?....Is someone turning these things loose on me"?!?!!? Mr. Yesterday's Spike comes in the same route as pretty boy, but with the lack of a cat in the red zone, he turns right up the V....man I was gritting my teeth at him...almost shot him for spite :rolleyes:
THE END.
Wow, what a morning. I didn't get myself a doe, but if you don't think I didn't come home with nothing you better think again. If that doe in Act 1 - Scene 1: would have come in 5 minutes earlier and I'd have shot her and seen nothing the rest of the whole weekend.....just think of what I'd have missed. It was a good trade no doubt.
To some the world's a stage....To me it's a theater.
And I'm thankfull that once again this year ......I have season tickets.
