SAW MY FIRST LEGAL BUCK ON FRIDAY!! :-)
Sorry I was excited, lol Looks like we is at least a 5 point, might be bigger.
He came in with some does on a tree I had seen from the logging road, and just walked up to and climbed. Stayed just out of range, and I would had to force a shot in a tight space.
Then This morning, I saw not a danged thing, squirrels, that was all until noon.
This afternoon, i setup my stand on the trail where the buck went to and followed down friday night.
SUre enough, around 6:30 he showed up, but after standing for about an hour I had sat down to adjust my hand on the bow, and look to my left and he is making a B-line for my tree, still coming, I am sitting down so I get the bow out over the edge of the treestand and draw it back sitting down, have him in sight, but he still coming almost directly at me, at about 4 feet from my tree he stops and looks up at me (he was quartering towards me) and he gently jogs the opposite direction to about 20 yards out. FINALLY quartering away, and he stops, I stand up, bow still at full draw, and he stops with a tree right across the vitals.......bummer, he turned and headed down the mt. then. In total saw 16 deer and spooked several on my way out, not a bad night, but they were moving waaaaaaaay late.
