Hunt Story

I first saw this buck on 10/24/17. He was hard chasing a doe and would not stop for a decent shot. I whistled , grunted and even hollered at him but he would have nothing to do with that! The afternoon of Oct. 30 was clear and cool with a slight northwest wind. About 5:30 p.m. the wind decreased, and I began to see an occasional doe browsing in the planted pines. Over the next 40 to 45 minutes, 5 or 6 additional does appeared and continued to browse until about 6:15 when they scattered like a covey of quail. Twenty minutes later, about 6:30, the 11-pointer stepped out of the thick cover to present me with a good broadside shot. He dropped in his tracks!
