Default RE: Official Team ">>>---Passthru--->" (19)

Had a nice night yesterday. It was very windy but as soon as the sun was down it calmed right down. It was my first hunt out at camp in Ralph, MI and again no scouting. Around 6:25 pm I had a nice 6 with about a 13" spread come in. It took till 6:39 pm to finally offer me a shot. I didn't even grab my bow when I saw him coming because I knew I was going to pass on him, no brow tines. I got to watch him for nearly 45 minutes which by then it had become very dark so all I could see was the white ring around his nose. A couple other deer were on there way in from behind me but the wind had shifted and I think they winded me. The buck had no idea I was there and wasn't the least bit nervous even as the coyotes were yipping near by. The deer behind me took off and the buck left in the opposite direction just wondering what their problem was. I got some heck at camp for passing but I told them I was saving it for them, I'll wait for a bigger one!!! He was at 17 yards pretty much the whole time. It was an awsome night!!!

Heading out in a hour or so to my property, hope to get some more action. Good luck to you guys!!!
