RE: Close Call on a Big Guy!!!!!
Ausie-Guy, I wear rubber boots and walked through the stream before going to my stand. I think what happened was that I brushed a dead limb on the way in. I got to my stand and was thinking about it and went back and got the limb and threw it in a blow down. Well when that buck stopped there was another limb laying right there so I think I went back for the wrong one. One little detail like that cost me the hunt. It was a great experiance though!!!!
I had seen these three bucks last Wednesday too. They came by my tree at 10 yds again. Only they were doing about 100mph chasing a doe out of the field so she wouldn' t eat their beans.
