Yesterday morning I ******ed one of my hunting buds who has some pretty good health problems into one of my honey hole stands. Took forever to get him out there and up the tree and I had to put in a couple of extra steps just for safety. I handed him up his stuff. It took forever to get the quarter mile thru the woods to my ground blind and I sure felt like I was running late.

I put down a couple of James Valley scent trails out from my 20 yard marks and set off one of those silly "Buck Bomb" things that have been like gold to me. I sat backhoping my bud would at least see something to get his blood flowing.

At about 6:30 I heard the no mistaking sound of a deer walking in my direction on my blind side heading RIGHT for the Bomb. I grabbed my bow off the hookjust as he came into view and he looked right at me. I thought I was done but he looked toward the bomb again and gave me a slam dunk broad side 15 yard shot!!He bolted and ran full out for 30 yards and crumpled. I reached into my pack and pulled out my thermos of coffe and said to my self "What the hell just happened" .

The pics don't do it justice. This guy is a hog and I hope to weigh him today. Great mass and has a head like a bull.

PS... My buddy hit a doe pretty good. It needed some time though so we are heading out after hefinishes a morning hunt. I put him in another great place!!
