Default RE: Your Hunt Today! Lets Hear it!

Tonight was the best hunt i've ever had in my life!!!!!!!!!!! WoW is all i can say. I got done working the chores on the farm and I gotdressed and packed my gear and headed for the atv. Jumped on and rode a ways down the road and up a farm drive. I met a few other hunters up there but they were talking about gun season and noone was bowhunting.Ichatted abit and headed up into the bean feild on foot. I made it to the feild edge and cocked my bow. I looked down the pipeline for an odd visitor deerthat sometimes hits the opentrail through the middle. no deer there. I walked down the line 300 yards andwent5 yards off the feild facing into the woods. I was expecting to see them move from thewoods where they bed to the feild. i got a few pictures of the trail before my camera diedI had some good pictures to take too. Btw,I sat for2 1/2 hours and decided it was getting a bitdark and i had a waysto gohome. I decided to pull amove that i'm known forin all hunting. Speaking the language lol. I grunted a few times and started raking theleaves withmy hand violently. A few seconds laterDeer took off franticly lookingfor the"ghost buck" that was me at the base of the dead tree. I got excited and kept grunting when their movement slowed to get them spurred up again. Finally theystopped and islowly stood up for a shot at one. I couldnt seethemfrom the ground.I stood all the way up and caught two does on each side of me and a100 class 8point buck. I wouldnt mind shooting him though. Idecided to slink down and move in for the shot. I got into range and The doe snortwheezed. I quickly thought and snort wheezed back. They still thought i was theghost buck. i knew that i was on thin ice but i kept moving. I stood up for the shot and there was a grapevine bundle in the way of my vitals. I took a step to the right and a doe caught my movement. They were on the move.Ilet out a long maaaaaaattt and they stopped.AgainI moved into range. Stood again but with only a shot at a doe. couldnt find the buck. Iturned around topull the shot offon the doe. She caught movement and i followed them tothat powerline and i stopped,grunted,snort wheezed, and stopmed my feet. they stopped in the middle of the powerline. It was now or never. Iput the arrow in the barrel and made a short walk to the edge of the woods and turned the corner. A HUGE buck atleast 140's and 12 points, tons of mass was standing there. I was too shakey to pull the bow up and flip off the safety before he took off.an AMAZING hunt and You can bet your bow i'll be back there soon!!!
