RE: Wish me good luck!
well I went hunting today and I went in a Boxstand The rut has begun now and I was not waiting for a buck I was gonna shoot a doe but if a buck came out u better believei'llshoot it! Anyway I get In my stand about 3:20 and ten minutes later (3:30) I see this spike stick his head out I put my gun up on theside then hedisapears...I wasn't going to shoot him anyway...... 3:40 a Nice buck comes out he is Has 3 on one side and the brontines but the right rack is justaspike I didn't have tim to study him to long....It mite have been broken by a fight or sumthing (right rack) anyway I get my 308 out the window. He is almost all the way in the shooting lane and his butt is in the woods I'm trying to take my time and I have it behind his shoulder (he was standing there looking around probly looking for a doe) I squeeze the trigger...bam!......He gets low to the ground and runs straight into the woods......I wait 25 minutes and get down to inspect....Soon my dad comes walking to check on my shot...(He was in a stand close by) He said the shot sounded like I shot it. He looks around and we found lots of hair...It was thick dark hair then we found some meat.....We look for about 100 yards in the thicket.....No blood....No guts..(good).......We decide We should get back to the camp...We figured out I shot him to much to the left and It his brisket area and thats why the hair was nice a think and dark (if u look at a whitetails brisket area u will notice) I am 99% posotive I didn't kill him. I was relieved I didn't Clip his leg or Kill him and not find him but I was dissapointed that I messed up maybe my only chance for a buck...I was discouraged....But I realized everyone takes those type of shots unfortanutely....When we were done honestly I didn't feel like hunting anymore...Then I got over that and Im ready for tommorow....Good luck tommorow hopefully I will kill something tomorow
