My snowbank buck
I was sitting in a hole ina snow drift that I dug onmy little folding chair in a bush about 12ftx5 ft. Oh and the wind was blowing about 35 mph, but it had warmed up to about 20 degrees. We had a blizzard about a month ago and the drifts are the only thing left for snow just about although it's snowing right now.
He wasn't the one I had wanted all season but bowhunting is a tough gig and it's hard to pass up bucks as the season goes by. That and he looked really good from the side so I put a gator through him at a hard quartering away angle. Aimed behind his last rib and exited above his front shoulder.
Whats crazy is that I watched him tip over at 75 yds and sat there for maybe 3 min. As I sat there looking at him here comes the buck I've wanted all season down the same trail, I could have shot him so easy..uuggghh! For such an ugly windy day the deer were really moving, you just never know!
Oh well, he is a nice buck and grosses 162 inches and will make a cool mount with those tall brow tines. Maybe one of my sons will get a shot at the big guy yet!
Take care and good luck to those of you that are still at it!
