Got caught in a buck fight

Katie, that is EXACTLY what I have been hearing from all my friends in IA, , IL, WI, MO, and KS. One day it is crazy good, the next two or three are dismal. Just make sure you are out ther on the good days!

Those memories will last a life time!

[wildwood]

was that longbow a Maddog like your recurve?

Amazing moment, glad you were able to witness it! Man, what a truly unique experience.

Sounds like a great hunt Katie! I love this time of year in the woods, one day it's dead, one day they are everywhere!

I had a couple little guys thrash it out in front of me at under 20yds, seen a few booners this year too, 1 at 15 yds and he looked right up at me and walked away, way to much brush to get an arrow through but a 170+ 10 point is an awesome site when they are that close..

Cool stuff.

Steve- let me know what day will be a good day and I will hunt it;)

Wildwood- No it was my JK Traditions Kanati. I like to switch bows after shooting deer. Shot a doe with the Maddog recurve a few weeks ago. So I switched to the Kanati for the next one.

Jason- Was that big boy up near you or down here by your folks?

How awesome

[Jason Kendall]

He was down by my folks Katie, Northern Warren County. We dont have deer like that up here, well a few maybe. So few I dont hunt here, just there!

Katie, Congradulations on your encounter.    
I would say that after reading your posts you have hunting figured out......Enjoy!

I'd say that makes you the truest of hunters right there, Gal.

Congrats on a fine day and a better take on it than most people in today's world who live by score cards!
