Anyone not killed a buck in a while
My dad owns 250 acres in middle tennessee, hickman county to be exact, and about i started hunting about 6 years ago when i was about 15and ikilled my first buck, a nice 9 pointer.I've had plenty of chances to take out the usual 6-7 pointer. I've seen HUGE 13-14pointers several times but something always happens.For example,we sometimes keep2-3 cows in our field, well here comes a huge 12 pointer out in the far side of the field heading straight towards me,its bow seasonand he's at about70 yards when all the sudden this small calf comes running out of the corner of my eyetowards the buck and scares him off. Then last season i see another 9-10 pointer, shoot him and he falls to the ground to which i thought he was dead. Look over 2 minutes later and he's moving around trying to get up but out of shooting range now. I get down 20 minutes later and the jokers gone. Apparently i hit him close to his spinal cord, paralyzing him for afew minutes. Anyonehad just a bad streak of luck lately or just waiting for "big daddy" to come across?
