RE: Buck Fever
Wow, honesty from hunters.....I can see none of these guys fish.Since we seem to be letting the old guards down I confess to a bad case.My first ML buck, I was breathing so hard I fogged the scope the buck just kept looking at me and i was able to wipe up the scope (which is no longer alive) then I shot the deer, but didn't have the hammer back, he just stood there so I pull back the hammer and bang all I see is smoke!!!!!!!!!! I drop to my knees underneath that smoke to see him runnig over the hill. Using powerbelts (not going there) and had hit a good broadside shot no blood but the buck kept falling and i got it a bout hour later tracking it limpinmg and falling in different spots. In Ohio you can get your deer checked in and get another tag doe only so I do this, the whole time just shaking and beaming about my 1st ML Buck.. I go hunting, at the end of the day we go to unload into a target///////you guessed it T7, thebullet not real tamped down and a Phizzzzz puff of smoke out the barrel and all my friends laughjing about the skill and eagle eye of the great hunter Booby Crocket!! Man, bow season starts in a couple weeks, I have a log splitting work weekend at my camp coming up and it's starting to get cold, and were starting to tell hunting stories...........where is the campfire and i am getting pumped!!
