let a forkhorn pass today,proud of myself
 

today is day 3 ny southern zone, opening day saw 2 does and a spikey but had no shot at the does and today at 5pm a nice forkhorn like a nice 4 point came up , i used the climber in an area i never hunt cause i seen 2 twin 8's there, he came up 5 yards away and was eating i debated taking him but my first was a small 5 and told myself if it aint a 6 let it grow up,,,, the little bugger got me pumping though,,,,, he then moved to 15 yards so i pulled and put the pin on him and said to myself, see ya next year!! i had to see if i could have gotten him w/out spooking him and i did! actually 2 rookie friends never got a deer w/ the bow yet so i figure they can take it and be proud of it!! i quess the scouting, scent control and studying is working,,,,,

Nice job there Monster. It's all the excitement without the bloddy mess! LOL. That type of discipline is to be commended. It'll pay off when you see him next year...bigger. Congrats.

I believe our native american brothers called that "counting coup". Its equally gratifying and a lot less work, huh?

I'm proud of you monsterbuckland! I'm sure you will be rewarded nicely when its all said and done <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Good Job! Except for one thing. I wouldn't have drawn on him. Too risky , getting busted by that big buck that you didn't see<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

As they always say, you gotta let the little ones grow up if you want bigger ones. I'd rather shoot a doe than a small buck any day. You're ensuring one of your future bucks by letting that little fella live. Congrats.
