awesome buck shed! Congrats!!

If you haven't read my thread on the main page, guys....I shot a little buck this morning that came in hobbling. It is what it is...and I'd do it, again. Photo and score is on the scorecard.

Good luck to all of you still hunting for your bucks. I would have loved to have done this another way.....but it wasn't in the cards.

Post a damn picture in our thread[8D]

Points is points Jeff, and you did the right thing.

You seem to be knocking them down a bit quicker these days, what did you change?

He was clicking, grunting at this doe all evening. I think i heard him say "Just let me sniff it" once He finally gave up around 7:25PM.[/align]

We're in second, Just ahead of team 6#, I think Hunsucker is on that team[8D]

Congrats on your buck Jeff. I haven't read your story yet, but it must have been a mercy killing from what I gather.

You got one with antlers!!

I only saw does and fawnstoday in IL,4 does and 3 fawns in the morning. And 0 deer in the evening.

I also took another doe out of the herd, this evening. I hadn't even had time to get settled and put my facemask on.....when I heard a familiar sound RIGHT UNDER ME. I looked straight down to see a BB. I watched him sniff around where I had placed my stand and gear.....and he then mosey'd on to my left a little. I had thought I heard another deer to my left....but I wasn't gonna look down without my facemask on. When I finally thought I had the chance to look....there was a doe under the canopy of a sapling. I found an opportunity to stand....and they both walked straight away. I pegged her at 20yds....and came to full draw. She turned to her right.....and was broadside when I released. The hit was a little back.....and I watched her bound away with a huge hole in her side. It was 4:30.

6:00, Lisa nd I go back over to get on the blood trail. It was sparse. We walked down to where i thought she'd gone....and I went into the thicket a bit to see if I could see her in the fading light. I'd made a mistake. I jumped her up. She only went about 20 yds and kinda fell over against a tree. I quietly backed out. Lisa and I went out to eat....I called Rob.....and we decided I'd go back in after 10:00. I left the house at 10:00 and walked right up on her. She's already on ice.

I'm exhausted. I'm gonna go lay down beside my honey....as soon as I unwind a bit.

I'm not hunting again until PA....but I'm all of your biggest cheerleader. I'll hunt here, again, on 11/3.....and then not again until Rob/PA's her on 11/16.

Good luck to all.

Jeff,

You did the right thing. I'd do the same and have in the past in that same situation. I posted over in your other thread this morning... congrats on yet another bow kill too.. well TWO today! If there was one thing I would enjoy..it would be getting all that shooting practice you get... I'm gonna try again tomorrow...
