Hey guys,
I hope all is well with you. I may have screwed up my chances to score for the team. While hunting a couple of weeks ago, I had two does running by my stand and I voice grunted to stop them. I shot the one that presented the best shot and she piled up 35yds from where I shot her. Well, by the time I climbed down and walked over to her, she had grown a set of balls...turned out I had shot a button buck. Does this count as my first buck kill?
If that wasn't bad enough, myfather-in-law shot the buck I've been hunting all season. The buck has an18 1/2 in. inside spread, 8 1/2 g2s, 6 1/2 in. g3s & brow tines. I don't know what he scores, but hes definitely one worth mounting. My father-in-law knew I was hunting a nicebuck and he cutme off byrifle hunting the trail coming in to where my stand was. Over 300 acres to hunt and he pulls that crap. Talk about being p.o.ed. It is his property, so what can I do...other than knife his tire.
