buck down in ga!!!!!!
I shot a nice buck tonight!! and man luck was on my side is so many ways!!!!!!!!! here are some pics and the story will follow shorlty. I am tired and will be back later to pout the story up.. its long
2 things you guys need to know!! this buck only had his front teeth!! he had no other teet in his mouth at all.. so he must be old and I mean old! the other thing is that where I live in ga the bodys on the deer in my area are fair not to bug usually, but this deer had a huge body! and get this a 28in neck!!!!!!!!!!!!! "if I messured it right" he was almost 200lbs on the hoof.... here are some pics
ok here is the story.
I got to the woods a little late today. I pulled in near the power lines on the property and parked at about 10min to 5pm...
I get my stuff together and start walking towards my spot accross the power lines and in the woods about 100 yards form the opposite side of the power lines. Well i go about 150 yards from the truck and jump some does coming from some woods on my right . They were just coming into open power line area.
I was likeok not a good start. well I get to thw eood line and crawl under barbwire fence and head towards my stand. I get close to it and put out a scent wick with doe urine "not estrus just doe urine" its about 30-40 yards from my stand.
I go to my climber and climb up the tree and get settled in. I brought my new Georgia OutDoor News with me to kill a little time. Well I read one page of an article and flip the page and I hear somethingheavy walking. I was like that is not a deer its to loud and I have only been here like 10 miutes. Well to my surprise it ws a nice buck!!!
It was like you see on the hunting shows. He walked right into my shooting lane, and right up to the scent wick and smelled it!! I pull my gun up and aim. get ready to shoot and....... click,,,,,,, nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was like what the hell??????? well the buck heard this and kinda jumped. H e moved over to the left a little and new something was up. I could not believe that happened. SO I slowly try and eject the bullet to get a new one in. It took me about 1 minute so to do this as quietly as possible. Well now I am ready to go!!! heart pumping, deer is gettign skidish, I pull my gun up and aim....... click........... nothing again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so frustrated and bewilderd. I had no idea what was going on!!!!!!! well the deer moved back to the right now and was very nervous. I was able to load another bullett slowly. I pick the gun up and aim and Boom it finally shoots he then goes down on the spot!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about luck!!! I mean this is unreal luck in my eyes! so that is my long story

RE: buck down in ga!!!!!!
Man, nice buck. The only 2 bucks I have got here in GA were pretty small (including a 10 point). Nice to know thatdoe pee works.
Its funny.. I got a doe this year during muzzleloader week, she came out a few minutes after I got up in my stand, had not even sat down yet. It was about the same time as yours too.
Well, I got selected for the Rum Creek WMA for next week, so will be out a couple of days hopefully.
