Default RE: Official Team "The Elite 8" (8) Thread

Alright here he is, with a little story. I took off work early yesterday and drove up to my buddies parents land in Allegany County. I got in my tree and was all situated, after about 10 mins I hit the grunt call a couple times. About a min later I hear a deer behind and turn to see a small spike, about 20 yards behind him is a nice 4pt. Well these 2 little deer decide to put on a show and start a knock down drag em out fight, 20 yards from my stand. Were not talking a little sparring here, they were pushing each other back and forth, crashing into brush and trees, knocking each other over. It was pretty awesome to see. They did this for a good 15 min, after they were done they continued past my stand, they got down wind of me and turned heading out of of site. I grunted at them a couple times but they kept on going. About 5 min later I hear another deer coming in behind me and its this guy,he is following the same trail the other 2 bucks came down, he is sniffing the ground looking all around, walks straight to me and stops at 15 yards and turns broad side. Well the rest is history, he got smoked.

For the area I was hunting he is not a bad buck, in hind site I probaly should have let him walk though, but I got caught up in the moment......and well its to late now. I'm thankful for any deer I can harvest and am happy with him. He wont give us alot of points in the contest but he will provide meat in the freezer and a memory of a great hunt.
