RE: Official Team 30 Thread

Sorry #30

Man am I down in the dumps on God's trick,but am glad I didn't injure him. The day started of cold and windy and a little snow. I felt the feeling AGAIN[8D]. Wow 2 times in a week,well it started almost like the other day got on stand at 7:10 and this time the buck was right on me thinking I was a doe walking through the bush but I was up getting my safety belt on

.
Dang animals won't even let me get belted in

nothing but grunts all around me till 7:45 when all hell broke lose,right away I new it wasn't a deer breaking everything in it's way and out came a young bull moose that stuck around till 9:10. Bedded about 47 yards from me in the willows. I prayed for it to come my way so I can fill my tag and my freezer[:'(]. Didn't happen, anyways a great buck came in and the bull took off and I watched the biggest buck I've ever seen in the wild walk out where the bull was bedded. He was biggerthan my 172 buck I took and wowzer ,the mass was incredible, a perfect 5x5 and out past his nose. I wasreadybeforehe got here

and he got here fast and was smelling my footsteps all the way to my stand before he turned behind my stand and up the hill.
He left as fast as he came and I was now thinking what do I have to do to get another good animal? The bucks are up and moving now up here and the rut should be starting with in minutes. The big boys don't show up when their aren't does in estrus. Well I hada few minutes to let this all set in before I heard the same buck come back after circling my stand from away out. I watched him again as I waited,down the slope he came and stoppedat 13yards in front of my stand and sniffed where I turned to come to my tree.Perfect shot angle and all I drew and what the heck[:'(].My peep site was blocked[:@]. I let off and he stayed still as I drew again in disgust,this time itdid the same thing[

].
I held and thought I can't let'm walk[>:][X(].I did the cardinal sin and released. He bolted 2 bounds to 25 yards and stood their wondering what the heck the noise was. I looked in digust, I thought I saw him flinch with the hit. He stayed for a few more minutes and then walked off.Mean while I was pulling my hair out and saying I should have stayed with my no peep site. I twisted my peep a bit and saw that it caught some bush as I was walking in the dark to my stand. Drew back and bingo

I was back in action.It was only 10:15 now.
I felt it was a God thing that allowedthat deer to walk, telling me not to shoot if I'm not sure of the shot,DAAAAAA. What an idiot[&o]. Sorry team. Well I go down and get my arrow and check it,a clean miss whew I say,lesson learned. Then I have to do cardinal sin 2 go #2 by my stand.
I do it in disgust and cover it with dirt and leaves and no sooner, I'm belted back in and I hear another buck comming.LMAO the rut is perfect time to be on stand cause what you see and do can mistify you as it did just then. This 2 1/2 year ole 4x3 walks up along my stepsright tothe spot I just crapped in.LMAO and he sniffs it and I'm waiting for him to bolt,well he turns and follows my steps to the base of my tree and lifts his tail and poops too. I've must say I've seen it all. I got out due to the high winds at 1:30 and saw 6 different bucks and 2 were jaw droppers with the encounter of the one that I could make out clearly. The thing I noticed is 2 of these bucks were dominant bucks any where else and here too,why didn't I see any does???? Their not in estrus is my guess.
Keep at er guys, we'll get a good one yet to post and be safe. Tomorrow is about the same for weather for me here as today,windy gusting to 65 and-6. Be safe and God Bless. I don't know if I can handle another day like today!!!
