Hey Team I am back home.
I had a great time Bowhunting in Brown County
I spent Wednesday morning in the stand along the ridge just above a food plot. Sitting in the dark waiting for daylight I listened to 3 different buck fights down in the food plot.
The first critter to join me was a Coon whom decided to get up in the tree with me ( Coon's werent in season )[:@]
Ishot 2 Does the first morning.... shot them both standing in almost the same exact spot, shot them litterly less than 1 minute apartI will post a pic later.
That evening Sean myguide asked if he could video me on the rest of my hunts we headed outand we sat a spot where we saw a 160 class buck cross the road going to a cut corn field , once we had the stuff all settled in the stands and the camera set up the only thing to come close enough was a possum ( which werent in season ) told Sean we could of had some Awesome Possum Kill Footage[8D]We did watch a buck we were calling in come our way only to stop at the telephone pole to make a rub, so we call and rattle again and he starts our way again to cross the road and of course just then a truck pulls up on the road between us and the buck and he hits the brakes to look at the buck and then our buck run's off... of course[:@]
The second morning I had to pee before I got in the stand so I made a mock scrap 8 yards from my stand and pee'd in it.
Of course the first deer in front of me again is a button buck sniffing my scrape followed by his mom and another fawn, then in comes in another spike and I watch him make a rub and then he goes to my mock scrape and pee'd in it ( that was so cool to watch, so I have mom at all kinds of shots broadside but I dont have another doe tag so I had to let her walk, a little later another doe and 2 year old doe pass by broadside but alas no doe tag again[:'(]
That evening we headed out with the video camera and of course when we parked at our parking spot it started raining so videing the hunt was out of the question so Sean just sat in the stand next to me to watch. At 4:42pm a nice buck ( he was a mainframe 10 pointer with I think was a split G2 making him an 11 pointer , he comes by broadside quartering away slightly from behind me so Sean taps me on the shoulder to alert me to his precense I turn to see him , I had to stand and turn around in the stand and draw my bow with me facing the tree with my bow right next to the tree, I guessed he was 25 yards drew and shot, clean miss the arrow went right under him, my yardage estimation was way wrong Yep I choked [:'(]I now get to join the I Missed Club.
I was just thankful it was a clean miss and I didnt wound him.
And thankful it wasnt all on camera
The hunt on Friday Morning was sitting in the rain with not much deer movement and pretty uneventful on the deer's part , I then moved to another stand to hunt from 9:30am to 11:30am in a light rain and not much movement, follwed by and afternoon and evening hunt of us sitting in the pouring rain for hours with only onedoe moving.... all in all it was a great time
