RE: PA Rifle Thread
coulda dropped the big one at 6am[:@] 5yds away i could see him and the rack clearly. should been like anyone else and dropped him. him and his buddy walked around grunting all morning...broke light and the woods fell silent. scanned hard and never seen them. 1045 here they come. hard right..im 20foot in my summit viper..cant get turned enough[:@] big one in the lead..trying to make sure hes legal and get turned..hes kinda in a hurry lookin for a place to hide i think. stood up and its nasty thick. could dropped him but i wanted to make sure he was legal. i never got a great look at either buck. the big one had 3 on top for sure and a nice spread but i dont know if he had brows or the other side..i could sworn i seen the other side was broke off i dont know....he walked by. the other ones rack went straight up and looked massive..couldnt tell what he was. im in 100yd strip of wood. fields and a road infront of me with a thick edge and a redbrush/jagar field behind me where they came from. called up the group an hour later...they pushed it all...never to be found. im stumped. sad thing is im almost posative the big one was the one i stuck in bow season and he ducked the string. hit him really high.
rest of the day i dogged it for the sitters. i put out all the deer...first time ever dogging too!! kid shot his first deer(a doe) drive leaders daughter shot a nice little 6pt. and a guy shot a 8pt with about a 14 inch spread...we didnt have a good group. only 3 drivers. me, drive leader, and his daughter. toooo many sitters. they all had kids or were kids. but we did alright. ready for friday and saturday when we got the good group back together. there might be a couple guys hunting this week but not many so they shouldnt do much damage till im back from college
