PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

Well folks the biggest monkey on my back is finally gone, 4 years of ups and downs and misses, vanished this morning when I shot a nice 6 point here in the great state of Pa. My good friend Rob and I started my quest to take a buck this year yesterday the 3rd of November and had a day to remember seeing a total of 5 differant bucks and of course the humilation of me missing a nice 80 plus inch 7 point and I hate to say 20 yards on film to boot. Bad luck, buck fever, lack of concentration I dont know but of course it was caught once again on video.

But to the success story Rob and I headed out this am and climbed in our food plot stand as we call it,and it was a crisp cold 20 degrees out with high hopes of some bucks making there rounds. Wouldnt you know it we spotted a buck about 200 yards across the field walking where two small yearlings just passed, Rob gave a few grunts from one of our River Valley Deer Flutes ( since he said he was guiding me I made him work his tail off ) and the buck walked back into the timber. It was about five or so min. and I saw him cutting into the goldenrod field and heading straight for us, Rob goes to me what do you think, I responded with a let's take a look at him when he get's a little closer and when he entered the food plot at about 40 yards and then woundered to about twenty I whispered I was going to take him and I proceded to stop him at 15 yards and spined him where he stood. A follow up shot was necessary and with in seconds we were celebrating. Rob caught this whole hunt on video this morning as well.

This hole season has been a great season for me it was the first buck in 4 years that I have had the pleasure of taking. It was the first time Rob and I have ever two bagged a season, a first kill for my new Trykon, and the second buck down for ENIGMA CAMO. My son put the pressure on me when he won his first championship football game with a team high 3 sacks in a game and he told me not to choke. Hows that for pressure, 10 years old talking smack. Thanks for sharing my year in the woods. HNI has been a great place with great people to share experiences. Congrats to all who have been successful and good luck to all who are still out there. Q2

Here's a some pictures of the monkey off my back.







And of course, my guide, lodge host and camera man, Rob/PA Bowyer. This one's for Team 12..lol

Thanks for the kind remarks guys and yes TreeDreamer I was relieved. It was a long time and coming these are the bucks I enjoy the most, he was a pretty nice size deer for a 6 point thanks for noticing Nubo. Again thanks for allowing me to share with you all..

Congratulations Kurt, Very nice Buck. I know the feeling of having that Monkey on my back. In fact he's still hanging there.[:@] Maybe when I make my visit to "The Poorman Lodge" next week some of that luck will rub off on me. I did have a positive saturday though seeing 4 different buck, 2 of them being shooters. Oh by the way very nice Camo;). And for those that asked it is Enigma Camo. Now maybe I can be #3 for Enigma.

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

Pa cant wait until you come up, now you dont have one camera man you have two. It would be cool if you took the 3 rd buck with ENIGMA CAMO, it has made a believer out of me I will tell you that..See ya soon...Q2

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

It looks to me like it would be a great camo for trees with not alot of cover because the grey would blend in with the sky. I would think you would glow in a tree with dense cover though.

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

jhalfhill, I wore my Enigma in the greenest of the season at the begining of Oct and the first day of the season, Kurt and I were sitting in the very tree he took this buck out of. We had 3 buck and a maternal downwind of us. The bucks were at 60 yards looking and the doe moved into 35 yards. Now picture two, 200 lb guys sitting side by side and 4 deer looking for them. They didn't see us. I don't know if we "glowed" or not, I couldn't see through their eyes but I do now we went undetected visually. The one time the doe looked up at us, that second she paused then never looked at us again. I was suprised. This is the very first year for Enigma and the success stories are rolling in as well as successful encounters will all walks of wildlife. I'm impressed and I had the priveledge to see the 3D suits in the works, I think everyone will be suprised at whats coming out.

But I don't want to hijack Kurts thread into a "camo" thread so,

Congratulations Kurt, I had just as much fun if not more behind the camera and recording that amazing hunt with you.

This is the treestand setup we were in. Again, picture two of us up there, undetected.

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

Nice job guys. I could sure use a cameraman down my way if you got time. I am off all week!!!

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

tkycaller I dont know if you want me to be one of you camera men I might miss the first one lol.

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

congrats!.. im from Philipsburg... i go to college here in altoona..

RE: PA 6 Point, Monkey off my Back..lol
 

GREAT JOB, Q2!

I was thinking I was gonna be #3 (with enigma camo)with the small 8-pointer on Saturday afternoon......but he didn't give me the shot. MaybeI'll get onein the next week or so.....and get Robon one of these baby bucks (compared to your bucks, there.....ours are REALLY small-racked....or the ones I'm seeing are....lol).

But back to yours......he's a BRUTE! I know having it on filmhas got tobe awesome.

Congratulations, again!

Jeff
