Was out today during the PA rifle season with one of my 50 cal percussions. I had already taken a buck with the bow but had an anterless tag.
I was in the midst of some really heavy stuff. A couple acres of 1 - 1 1/2" saplings growing about a foot or two apart you all know the type). About 9:30 I caught some movement about 75 yds out. Bits and pieces here and there. I knew it was a deer working toward me. I kneeled down, ****ed the hammer and waited, and waited. As it was getting closer, something didn't look right. Was acting a lot like a buck does. Walking with its head low and the body language was spelling buck.
Well at about 35 yds HE must have got a whiff of me cause he picked his head up and was looking around. Sure enough - a nice 8 pointer. He put his head back down and contined past me at about 25 yds. It was definately his lucky day cause I had him dead to rights. That red fiber optic sight was resting solidly just behind his front shoulder every time he stopped.
