This past Monday evening i scouted a property, I took a lawn chair and sat in a milo field overlooking a treeline along a creek. I lost count with over 13 bucks moving about and many Does. One buck appeared to be a nice 10pt.
Later that night, i explained to a Muzzleloader hunter what i had seen, we made plans to hunt the property the next evening, i went along to watch and enjoy the hunt with him.
We had 4 Does come out at 6p, at 6:30p, the nice 10 walked out of the trees, we had ranged the tree line at 196 yards. The hunter was using a nice bi-pod rest, i watched as the buck dropped in his tracks, then the smoke obscured my view. When we walked up to the buck, he was a very nice 11 pointer, both base measurements were over 5" ,..scoring over 150, this hunter has killed 2 bucks in 2 years that score in the 150's hunting here with me.
His partner had a chance with a tall tined 10pt, but unfortunately missed his shot.
I am just getting started for the 2012 season, bowhunters will be arriving soon, followed by a couple of rifle season hunters.
This ML hunter and his friend have been here with me the last 2 seasons, they are planning a MN hunt for next year. I am looking to fill their week for next season and possibly beyond. I currently only take 2 ML hunters per season and highly prefer that they be part of the same group.
