Just got back. Our group did very well in zone 11. We went 4 for 4 on Monday with all 6 pointers. All were 1 1/2 year old deer. My buddy was the first to get his at about 7:30. Mine came along at 8:30 with a spike. When I shot, a doe and a real nice buck, that I didn't even know were there, bolted from a thicket 80 yards in front of me. My Dad also seen 8 different bucks that morning, mostly small ones but 2 dandys, till he got his at 11:00. Then the icing on the cake came at about 1:00 when we were loading my Dad's buck into the truck when we hear 2 shots come from where my Mom sits behind their house. A minute later she comes on the radio and says she got a 6 pointer! Allright, 4 for 4!!! Tuesday we didn't see one buck while sitting on stand all day. Wednesday morning we sat and no bucks were sighted. After lunch we decided to put on a one man push in a 5 acre cedar thicket. My buddy Tom volunteered to walk and my Dad and I were the sitters. I sat in a ground blind that I built years ago and haven't hunted it in a while. My Dad sat in my Mom's ground blind. Well, the first deer I see come out was a small doe. Then a few minutes later, here they come from my right, 30 yards away and pass right in front of me. First one was a doe then a 4 pointer, then a string of about 15 does. All this time I am not moving a muscle, just my eyes. I think my snow camo really helped also. All of a sudden, I see horns, BIG horns. Not one but 2! I let the first one go by hopeing when I shoot the 2nd one, the 1st one will go to my Dad. I shoot and he drops but the other one went off to the side nowhere near my Dad. He is a real nice even 10. He has an 18" outside spread and 6 " G2's. One thing is, there was a puss wound on his back from an arrow that an archer shot too high. We had to discard the back half when we skinned 'em out, didn't want to chance it, but the rest is being made into hot dogs. Thursday was a butchering day. No bucks on Friday and only one seen from a distance by my Dad on Saturday. So we had an exellent week and I will be back with the muzzleloader to try for that other big guy!
