RE: 26-Official Team "Bustin' The Nuts" Thread
Well guys, I had an exciting morning today. It's started out with a major SNFU because I was hunting in my friends backyard and when I got to the tree I realized I didn't have my climbing band for my stand. Must have fallen out in the woods while dragging the little deer out. Oh well, I'll get it when I get home.
So I hopped into this real old metal shed he doesn't use anymore and just put my stand on the floor with the seat up. Just after it started to get light out, I watched about 2 dozen deer just walk up from the bottom and must have gone past my friends house. Then about 15 mins later a doe walked by and I heard a buck grunting. It was the bigger of the pretty 8 pointers he has in his yard. He was 20 yrds. I drew on him but waited due to some branches in my way. While I waited, I debated. He really was a pretty deer. He was around a low 130 class. Possibly a 135. I decided I wasn't going to mount him and so I passed on the shot. About 20 mins later he stood broadside 10 yards away. Dang he wanted to be shot. He gave me one more shot about 20 mins later out the back window. He will be pretty next year. Any how saw all three eights running around chasing more deer then I could count. While I was watching them, I heard deer right out side the shed eating acorns. A little bambi stood 10 yrds broadside and "Whack"! she ran off out of sight. 6 more Does moved up broadside. I knocked another arrow and dropped a good size Does. She ran down into the woods and the others stood there still trying to figure out what's happening. I almost knocked another arrow a shot a third. I could have emptied my quiver this morning and shot 6 deer.
Went looking for the little one because I saw momma drop. Went to the side of his house saying, she should be right here. Didn't see it, then turned around and under the bush she was.
I'm hunting my honey hole all day tomorrow or weds. Should be a real good hunt. Hopefully, I will see a shooter. I've got a good feeling this year.
Good luck guys, let's start putting them on the board.
Update, I was going out to gut these guys and there was a Does in my moms backyard. I drew on her but she moved so I couldn't get the shot. I'm loving life right now.
