Hunt Story
I ARRIVED AT HUNTING LOCATION AROUND 4: 30PM. I WAS WATCHING A YOUNG BUCK HARASSING 4 DOES SOON AFTER ARRIVING. AFTER A WHILE THEY MOVED OUT OF SITE AND AROUND 15 MINUTES LATER I HAD A COUPLE DOES ENTER FOOD PLOT. I WAS LOOKING AT THE DOES THROUGH MY BINOCULARS WHEN THE BUCK ENTERED MY FIELD OF VIEW AND I IMMEDIATELY PREPARED FOR A SHOT OPPORTUNITY. THE BUCK PUSHED THE DOES AROUND A LITTLE BIT AND OFFERED A SHOT. HE EXITED THE FIELD RAPIDLY . I WAITED A LITTLE WHILE AND WENT TO LOOK FOR HIM. I HAD LITTLE BLOOD AND ENDED UP WALKING UP ON HIM ABOUT 20 YARDS OFF THE EDGE OF PLOT AND HE JUMPED AND RAN OFF. I WAITED ABOUT AND HOUR AND WENT BACK AND FOUND HIM ABOUT A 100 YARDS FROM THAT SPOT. THE DEER WAS EVIDENTLY QUARTERING TO ME MORE THAN I THOUGHT. REGARDLESS I AM VERY BLESSED AND THANKFUL TO HARVEST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BUCK.
