HunterLee Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Started off last wed night looking for a whitetail. Got up into a ladder with the intention of doing some long range scouting with a slim chance of shooting a buck, but this guy tried to slip by me at 25yds and couldn't let him pass. He was tagging along with a slightly smaller buck and surprised me by sneaking in behind. Spent the weekend hanging with my brothers working on getting them a buck, and hoping the bear I was after would show up but with his poor schedule he was not due to show up until Monday but tried anyway. Here he is. Never came in the light and best was 3 days in a row. Went out this morning turkey hunting, was going to hold out for a gobbler, but have only seen one in my deer hunting spot and was not going to infringe on the area to bother any deer in the area so went to a blind I had see up for a big group of hens and a few jakes. This guy thought it was spring and gave me a half strut when I called softly as they fed by. Had him in at 10yds but behind the blind, ended up shooting him at 40yds. Now I trap and wait for wolf season to get here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
