Terrible Start To A DAy
Well guys I dropped my partner of at 6:30 and headed to my honey hole and I looked and looked and looked. Light was starting to show and finally I found the tree and Dang it

. Someone stole my stand,well what can I do but look to my other ole reliable,it's gonzo too. Now I'm ticked

. Well I go back to where I was on Monday and at noon we give up. I saw a button buck at 8:20 ,so I tell my bud the bad news and of we head to a new location.
Get on stand by 2:20 and nothing ,till it's almost time to go and I hear grunting coming down the tree line about 400 yards away. I grunt back with a few doe estrus bleats to boot. This buck is on a michan.He's getting closer and the sunlight is almost gone. I hear him tearing up a willow across the field now at 70 yards. I buck growl with a few more doe bleats and he's heading my way. I grab the bow and get ready. He holds up midfield at 50 yards and turns broadside and I lower my bow andI can't do it.Too dark as he turns back towards where he came from. Great deer ,very tall tines and a 5x5 to boot ,guessing he'd go 18o's. Other than that a very depressing day.Will keep ya's informed tomorrow night . Be safe out their guys and God Bless.
